As Good As I Once Was
(专辑: Honkytonk University - 2005)
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. 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
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. I've known him since we were kids at school. Last night he had a
few shots, Got in a
tight spot Hustling 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. 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 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." I
used to be hell on wheels Back when I
was a
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. That's just the
cold hard truth. I
still throw a
few back, Talk a
little smack When I'm feeling 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. May not be good as I
once was, But I'm as good once as I
ever was.
