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
Can you believe I'm still chasing that dream
But I ain't looking over my shoulder


I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's 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'm not old enough to sing the blues
But I wore the holes in the soles of these shoes
You can 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
The nights have grown a little colder


Hey man, I gotta run
Now you take care
If you see coach T. Tell him I cut my hair
It's been all these years
Can you believe I'm still chasing dreams
But I ain't looking over my shoulder


I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's 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
