She said, "I?ve seen you in here before."

I said, "I been here a time or two."

She said, "Hello my name is Bobby Jo

Meet my twin sister Betty Lou

And we're both feelin' kinda wild tonight

You're the only cowboy in this place

And if you're up for a rodeo
B
I'll put a big Texas smile on your face."
I said "girls?"
(Chorus)
A
I ain't as good as I once was
B E
I got a few years on me now
E7 A B
But there was a time back in my prime
E
When I could really lay it down
E7 A
If you need some love tonight
B E B C#m
Then I might have just enough
Fm
I ain't as good as I once was
B A E
But I'm as good once as I ever was?
A
I still hang out with my best friend Dave
B E
I've known him since we were kids at school
E A
Last night he had a few shots
B
Got in a tight spot
E
Hustlin' a game of pool
A
With a couple of redneck boys
B E
One great big, bad biker man
F#
I heard David yell across the room
B C#m B
"Hey buddy, how ?bout a helpin' hand?"
I said ?Dave??
(Chorus)
A
I ain't as good as I once was
B E
My how the years have flown
E7 A B
But there was a time back in my prime

When I could really hold my own

B A E
But I'm as good once as I ever was?
BRIDGE:
D
I used to be hell on wheels
A E
Back when I was a younger man
F#
Now my body says you can't do this boy
B
But my pride says oh yes you can?
(Chorus)
A
I ain't as good as I once was
B E
That?s just the cold hard truth
E7 A B
I still throw a few backs, talk a little smack
E
When I'm feelin? bullet proof
E7 A
So don't double dog dare me now
B E B C#m
Cause I'd have to call your bluff
Fm
I ain't as good as I once was
B A
But I'm as good once as I ever was
E A
May not be good as I once was
B A E
But I'm as good once as I ever was?
