As Good As I Once Was Lyrics

[00:09.56] She said I seen you in here before
[00:13.31] I said I been here a time or two
[00:17.36] She said "Hello my name is Bobby Jo,
[00:21.28] Meet my twin sister Betty Lou
[00:25.66] And we're both feelin' kinda wild tonight
[00:29.65] You're the only cowboy in this place
[00:33.63] And if you're up for a rodeo
[00:37.94] I'll put a big Texas smile on your face"
[00:41.40] I said "Girls..."
[00:43.88] I ain't as good as I once was
[00:48.24] I got a few years on me now
[00:52.49] But there was a time, back in my prime
[00:56.63] When I could really lay it down
[01:00.38] If you need some love tonight
[01:03.91] Then I might have just enough
[01:08.07] I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once
[01:12.65] As I ever was
[01:16.52]
[01:24.16] I still hang out with my best friend Dave
[01:27.92] I've known him since we were kids at school
[01:32.15] Last night he had a few shots, got in a tight spot
[01:36.53] Hustlin' a game of pool
[01:40.02] With a couple of redneck boys
[01:44.24] One great big fat biker man
[01:48.20] I heard David yell across the room
[01:52.41] "Hey buddy, how 'bout a helpin' hand"
[01:55.41] I said "Dave..."
[01:58.42] I ain't as good as I once was
[02:02.83] My how the years have flown
[02:07.09] But there was a time, back in my prime
[02:11.88] When I could really hold my own
[02:14.57] If you want to fight tonight
[02:18.75] Guess them boys don't look all that tough
[02:22.60] I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once
[02:27.73] As I ever was
[02:31.24] I used to be hell on wheels
[02:35.26] Back when I was a younger man
[02:39.09] Now my body says "You can't do this boy"
[02:42.98] But my pride says "Oh yes, you can"
[02:47.44]
[02:50.00] I ain't as good as I once was
[02:54.69] That's just the cold hard truth
[02:58.26] I still throw a few back, talk a little smack
[03:02.44] When I'm feelin' bullet proof
[03:06.19] So don't double-dog dare me now
[03:09.99] 'Cause I'd have to call your bluff
[03:14.13] I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once
[03:18.81] As I ever was
[03:22.47] May not be good as I once was, but I'm as good once
[03:27.29] As I ever was
[03:28.93]
