As Good As I Once Was Lyrics By 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
    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 ain’t 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 hustling a game of pool
    with a couple of redneck boys
    one great big bad biker man
    i heard david yell across the room
    hey buddy how ’bout a helping hand
    i said dave

    i ain’t 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 don’t look all that tough
    i ain’t 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 can’t do this boy
    but my pride says oh yes you can

    i ain’t as good as i once was
    that’s just the cold hard truth
    i still throw a few back talk a little smack
    when i’m feeling 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
    may not be good as i once was
    but i’m as good once as i ever was
