As Good As I Once Was Lyrics

As Good As I Once Was

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,"



[Chorus]

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 bad biker man

I heard Dave yell across the room

"Hey buddy, how 'bout a helping hand."

I said, "Dave,"



[Chorus]

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 a younger man

now my body says, "You cant 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 dont 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
