| 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
|
| and 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 aint 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 was 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 bad biker man
|
| I heard Dave yell across the room
|
| «Hey buddy, how 'bout a helping hand.»
|
| I said, «Dave,»
|
| I aint 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 dont look all that
|
| tough
|
| I aint as good as i once was
|
| but I was 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 cant 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 dont YOU double dog dare me now
|
| 'cause I’d have to call your bluff
|
| I ain’t as good as I once was
|
| but i was good once, as i ever was
|
| maybe not be good as I once was
|
| but i’m as good once, as i ever was |
