As Good As I Once Was
Toby Keith
She said,
"I've seen you in here before."
I said,
"I've been here a time or two."
She said, "Hello, my
Name is Bobby Jo
Meet my twin sister Betty Lou
and we're both feeling
Kinda wild tonight
And you're the only cowboy
In this place
And if you're up for a rodeo
I'll put a big Texas smile on
Your face"
I said, "Girls,"
I aint as good as I once was
I got a few years on me now
But there was a time,
Back in my prime
When I could really
Lay it down
And if you need some love
Tonight
Then I might have just enough
I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once,
As I ever was
I still hang out with
My best friend Dave
I've known him since
We were kids at school
Last night
He had a few shots
Got in a tight spot,
Hustlin' a game of pool
With a couple of redneck boys
One great big FAT biker man
I heard Dave yell
Across the room
"Hey buddy,
How 'bout a helping hand."
I said, "Dave,"
I aint as good as I once was
My how the years have flown
But there was a time
Back in my prime
When I could really
Hold my own
But if you wanna fight
Tonight
Guess those boys
Dont look all that
Tough
I aint as good as I once was
But I'm as good once
As I ever was
I used to be Hell on wheels
Back when I was younger man
Now my body says
'You can't do this boy'
But my pride says
'Oh, yes you can.'
I ain't as good as I once was
Thats just the cold hard truth
I still throw a few back,
Talk a little smack
When I'm feelin' bullet proof
So don't double dog dare me now
'Cause I'd have to call your bluff
I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was
Maybe not be good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was
