by Toby Keith with the Infamous Third Verse by Robert Andrews

Key of C

She said, “I seen you in [F] here before”, [G] I said, “I been here a [C] time or two.” [Am]
She said “Hello my name is [F] Bobby Jo, [G] Meet my twin sister [C] Betty Lou
And we’re both feelin’ kinda [F] wild tonight, [G] You’re the only cowboy [C] in this place [Am]
And if you’re up for a [D] rodeo, We ‘ll put a big Texas [G] smile on your face!”
I said “Girls…”

I ain’t as good as I [F] once was, [G] I got a few years [C] on me now [Am]
But there was a [F] time, back in my [G] prime when I could really [C] lay it down,
If you need some [F] love tonight, [G] Then I might have [C] just enough [Am]
I ain’t as good as I [F] once was, but I’m as [G] good once as I [F] ever was [C]

I still hang out with my [F] best friend Dave. [G] I’ve known him since we were [C] kids at school [Am]
Last night he had a few [F] shots, got in a tight [G] spot, Hustlin’ a [C] game of pool
With a couple of [F] redneck boys, [G] and one great big fat [C] biker man [Am]
I heard David yell [D] across the room, “Hey buddy, how ’bout a [G] helpin’ hand”
I said “Dave…”

I ain’t as good as I [F] once was, [G] My how the [C] years have flown [Am]
But there was a [F] time, back in my [G] prime, when I could really [C] hold my own,
If you want to [F] fight tonight, [G] guess them boys don’t look [C] all that tough [Am]

I ain’t as good as I [F] once was, but I’m as [G] good once as I [F] ever was [C]

I used to be [A#] hell on wheels, [F] Back when I was a [C] younger man
Now my body says, [D] “You can’t do this boy,  But my pride says, “Oh [G] yes, you can!!”

Last night I went to the [F] Plaza Club. [G] There was such a big [C] crowd [Am]
But the music was [F] pretty good, [G] and it wasn’t [C] all that loud
So I grabbed me a [F] chair in back, [G] and I ordered a  [C] drink [Am]
and then someone [D] propositioned me, but it’s not what you [G] think.
I said “Hey…”

I ain’t as good as I [F] once was, [G] I can still walk but can’t [C] really dance. [Am]
I have a [F] glass of wine, go to [G] bed at nine, not ready [C] for romance,
But I’d like you to  [F] sit with me, [G] and talk with me and [C] buy you a drink. [Am]
I ain’t as good as I [F] once was, but I’m as [G] good once as I [F] ever was. [C]
I’m not be good as I [F] once was, but I’m as [G] good once as I [F] ever was. [C]
