Keith, Toby - As Good As I Once Was Lyrics
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.
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
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,
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.

This song reminds me of lifting 2 rusty 35 pound weights and failing miserably.
2020 and still the funniest music video I know of. Tenacious D up there too, but this is funnier because as I age it just keeps getting truer.
Very true brother. The older you get the more you relate to this song lol.
Haha can you imagine how that ass grab in the ambulance would go down today? #metoo

Toby Keith hates God and eats babies. And sucks the souls from young woman in order to keep his youth. He will stop at nothing to take over the world. He must be stopped.
I still don't understand why they clobbered Dave and also the meaning of that gesture Toby made on his head.
This was someone’s favorite too...i will keep listening in his memory he was special man. The lord took him with him December 30 2019 very sad.
This was someone’s favorite too.
And I wii keep listening in his memory..he was called from God December 30 2019 ...he really enjoy this song haha.
Hell yeah! That's why God made doggystyle. I love you baby.
And our friend sending me vile message now tell j he can gladly have copies to show the court and probation she's lieing poisoning the baby's head against him problem is I know every child protection law and its called parental alianation and slander Twice now shes attacked me regardless off appearance I'll back him every step of the way
2020 gang wya
i love this song its amazing song
Was the paramedic Stacy Keibler?
Na dude
2020 anyone?
I might not be as good as I once was but It was one hell of ride getting here. Oh the memories. This song always makes me reminisce and it puts a big New Jersey smile on my face.
Did anybody else notice the Toby changed cowboy hats in the video.
Thank you Mr. Toby for your music. You are a great musician who brings joy and cheerfulness
Does David wanna join a synidicate of Dave's? We have piano player layer named Noah his middle names Dave.....
Okay so in the bar scene when Toby is face to face with that one bald dude you would think Toby is short but in fact no Toby is 6’3 so in other words that bald dude was atleast 7’3-7’5 if my math is right
Hearing this now almost hurts try being in your early 20s and now your pushing 40 where did the time go I hated country when i was younger now that im older it hits home
Shoes...filled.
😎😂

I like Toby Keith because he takes his career about as seriously as everyone else does. Which is not at all.
Thanks for writing that. 💪🏼
