Keith, Toby - As Good As I Once Was

She said: "I seen you in here before."
I said: "I been here a time or two."
She said: "Hello, my name is Bobbie-Jo:.
"Meet my twin sister Betty-Lou.
"An' we're both feelin' kinda wild tonight.
"You're the only cowboy in this place,
"An' 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.
"An' 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 backer man:
I heard David yell across the room:
"Hey, buddy, how 'bout a helpin' 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.
"If you want a 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,huh,
I still throw a few back, talk a little smack,
When I'm feelin' bulletproof.
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 as good as I once was,
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was.
