--- Start Of As Good As I Once Was Lyrics ---

She said, Ive 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 ... we'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 ... Ive 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 David yell across the room ... Hey buddy, how 'bout a helping hand
I said, Dave

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 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
