                            Bb 
She said, "I've seen you in here before." 
C                         F 
I said, "I've been here a time or two." 
                             Bb 
She said, "Hello, my name is Bobby Jo. 
C                   F 
Meet my twin sister Betty Lou. 
                             Bb 
And we're both feeling kinda wild tonight. 
C                      F 
You're the only cowboy in this place. 
                       G 
And if you're up for a rodeo. 
                     C7            C 
I'll put a big Texas smile on your face.” 
  
I said, "Girls,"
[Refrain]
                     Bb 
I ain't as good as I once was 
C                 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 
And if you need some love tonight 
C                 F    C/E     Dm 
Then I might have just enough 
                     Gm 
I ain't as good as I once was 
           C              Bb        Am  Gm  F 
But I'm as good once as I ever was

                         Bb 
I still hang out with my best friend Dave 
C                                 F 
I’ve known him since we were kids at school 
                        Bb 
Last night he had a few shots 
               C                    F 
Got in a tight spot hustlin' a game of pool 
                 Bb 
With a couple of redneck boys 
C                  F 
One great big, bad biker man 
                   G 
I heard David yell across the room 
                        C7 
"Hey buddy, how 'bout a helping hand." 
         C 
I said, "Dave,"
[Refrain]
                     Bb 
I ain't as good as I once was 
C          F 
My how the years have flown 
                Bb              C 
But there was a time back in my prime 
                    F 
When I could really hold my own 
                 Bb 
But if you wanna fight tonight 
C                           F        C/E    Dm 
Guess those boys don't look all that tough 
                     Gm 
I ain't as good as I once was 
           C              Bb        Am  Gm  F 
But I'm as good once as I ever was
[Pont]
             Eb              Bb/D 
I used to be hell on wheels 
                F 
Back when I was younger man 
                   G7 
Now my body says, "You can't do this, boy." 
                    C7          C 
But my pride says, "Oh, yes you can.”
[Refrain]
                     Bb 
I ain't as good as I once was 
C               F 
That’s just the cold, hard truth 
                    Bb                  C 
I still throw a few back, talk a little smack 
                 F 
When I'm feelin’ bullet proof 
                    Bb 
So don't double dog dare me now 
C                  F         C/E    Dm 
'Cause I'd have to call your bluff 
                     Gm 
I ain't as good as I once was 
                C         Bb        Am  Gm  F 
But I'm as good once as I ever was 
                     Bb 
May not be good as I once was 
           C              Bb 
But I'm as good once as I ever was
