[Fm] [Am] [Bb]
[C] [F]
[C] [F] She said, I seen [Bb] you in here before.
[C] I said, I been [F] here a time or two.
She said, hello, my [Bb] name is Bobby Joe.
[C] Meet my twin [F] sister Betty Lou.
And we're both feeling [Bb] kind of wild tonight.
[C] You're the only [F] cowboy in this place.
And if you're up [G] for a rodeo, I'll put a big [C] Texas smile on your [G] [C] face.
I said, girls, I ain't as good [Bb] as I once was.
[C] I got a [F] few years on me now.
But there was [Bb] a time back in [C] my prime when I could [F] really live down.
If you [Bb] need some love tonight, [C] then I [F] might have just [Em] enough.
[Dm] I ain't as good [Gm] as I once was.
But [C] I'm as good once as [Bb] I ever [Am] [G] was.
[F]
[Bb] [C]
[F] [E] I still hang out with [Bb] my best friend Dave.
[C] I've known him since we [F] were kids ago.
Last night he had a [Bb] few shots.
He got in a [C] tight spot.
A slant [F] came up through with a couple [Bb] of redneck boys.
[C] One great big [F] fat blacker man.
I heard David [G] Jail across the room.
Hey, buddy, how about [C] a helping hand?
[Cm] I said, [C] Dave, I [Bb] ain't as good as I once was.
[C] My, how [F] the years have flown.
But there was [Bb] a time back in [C] my prime when I could [F] really hold my own.
[Cm] [Bb] If you want to fight tonight, [C] guess those boys [F] don't look all [C] that tough.
[Dm] I ain't as good as [Gm] I once was.
But I'm [C] as good once [Bb] as I ever [Am] was.
[G] [F] I used to [Eb] be hell on [Bb] wheels back when I [F] was a younger man.
Now my body [G] says that you can't do this, boy.
But my pride [C] says, oh, yes, you [F] can.
[C]
I ain't as [Bb] good as I once was.
[C]
That's just [F] the cold hard truth.
I still [Bb] throw a few back, talk a little [C]
smack.
But I'm [F] feeling bulletproof.
So don't [Bb] double down on me now.
[C]
Because I'd have to [F] call [Em] your bluff.
[Dm]
I ain't as good as [Gm] I once was.
But I'm [C] as good once as [Bb] I ever [Am] was.
[G] [F]
May not be good as [Bb] I once was.
But I'm [C] as good once [Bb] as I ever [F] [Gm] was.
