  S1:
  She said I 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 

  I'll put a big Texas smile on your face, I said, girls

  R1:
  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 

  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 

  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

  R2:
  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

  B1:
  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

  R3:
  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 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  

  May not be good as I once was 

  But I'm as good once, as I ever was
