Ain't As Good As I Once Was

Toby Keith


Tom: F

INTRO: Bb C F 

VERSE: 
                Bb         C
She said, "I seen you in here before." 
                F
I said, "I been here a time or two." 
                Bb        C
She said,"Hello my name is Bobby Jo, 
           F
meet my twin sister betty lou. 
                  Bb        C
And we're both feelin' kinda wild tonight, 
               F
you're the only cowboy in this place. 
               G
And if you're up for a rodeo, 
                C
I'll put a big texas smile on your face." 
 
I said "girls....." 
              Bb            C
I ain't as good as I once was 
         F
I got a few years on me now 
          Bb          C
But there was a time, back in my prime 
           F
When I could really lay it down 
           Bb              C
If you need some love tonight 
          F    F/E  Dm
Then I might have just enough 
              Bb
I ain't as good as I once was, 
       C          Bb         F
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was  
BREAK (INTRO) 
 
VERSE: 
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 biker man 
I 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 to 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  
BRIDGE: 
         Eb         Bb
I used to be hell on wheels 
         F
Back when I was a younger man 
         G
Now my body say's you can't do this boy 
             C
But my pride say's oh yes you can 
 
Chorus: 
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 
TURNAROUND 
Hey, I ain't as good as I once was 
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was 
 
ENDING (INTRO)
