Just Older

Hey, man, it's been a while, do you remember me
When I hit the streets, I was 17
A little wild, a little green
I've been up and down and in between

After all these years and miles of memories
I'm still chasing that dream
But I ain't looking over my shoulder

I like the bed I'm sleeping in
Just like me, it's broken in
It's not old, just older

Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in, it's alright with me
It's not old, just older

It's good to see your face
You ain't no worse for wear
Breathing that California air

When we took on the world
When we were young and brave
We got secrets that we'll take to the grave
And we're standing here shoulder to shoulder 

I like the bed I'm sleeping in
Just like me, it's broken in
It's not old, just older

Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans 
This skin I'm in, it's alright with me 
It's not old, just older

I'm not old enough to sing the blues
But I wore the holes in the soles of these shoes
You roll the dice 'til they call your bluff
But you can't win until you're not afraid to lose

Well, I look in the mirror
I don't hate what I see
There's a few more lines staring back at me
Now the night has grown a little bit colder

Hey man, I gotta run, you take care
If you see Coach T. tell him I've cut my hair 
I've kept my fear
I still believe I'm just

I like the bed I'm sleeping in
Just like me, it's broken in
It's not old, just older

Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in, it's alright with me
It's not old, just older

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, yeah
It's not old
Just
