Hi everybody!

Has anyone ever heard the first version of Just Older, called Older? Does it have different lyrics? If it's so, what are the different parts in the lyrics?

Thank you and happy new year!

I remember that Jon played it during one (or even more) of his solo shows in Germany in 1998...the lyrics were mostly the same (some adjustments were later on made here and there) and it also didn't sound far away from the final version.

Heard it, have it. Tried to find it on YT but no luck. Doesn't sound that different though, slight changes here and there compared to what ended up on Crush.

Baby it has been a while
Do you remember me?
I'm 36, I was 17
A little wild, a little green
I've been up and down and in between
It’s been 18 years, can you believe that I'm still chasing dreams?
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 faded pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in is alright with me
It's not old, just older

It's good to see your face
It ain’t no worse for wear
I know what you mean, I do care
She’s doing ok, I saw her last year
She got married and don't live too far from here
Sometimes I wish that I told her...

But I like the bed I'm sleeping in
Just like me it's broken in
It's not old, just older
Like a faded pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in is alright with me
It's not old, just older

But I'm not old enough to sing those blues
But I’ve worn a hole in the soles of my shoes
You roll the dice and I call your bluff
But you can't win until you're not afraid to lose

Well I've got to run, you take care
If you see Coach T, tell him I've cut my hair
It’s been 18 years, can you believe that I'm still chasing dreams?
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 faded pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in is alright with me
It's not old, just older

When I look in the mirror I don't hate what I see
Just a few more lines staring back at me
And I'm not old, just ...

--------------------------------------

I've always LOVED the line "sometimes I wish that I told her".

Thank you very much for writing the lyrics!
I think Just Older is a great song, and would love to hear it with this different lyrics... yeah, and the different part

I know what you mean, I do care
She’s doing ok, I saw her last year
She got married and don't live too far from here
Sometimes I wish that I told her...


is interesting!
