That's just the cold hard truth
Then I might have just enough
I said, "Girls, I ain't as good as I once was
I still throw a few back, talk a little smack
And if you need some love tonight
I ain't as good as I once was
I got a few years on me now
But I'm as good once as I ever was
But there was a time back in my prime
Guess those boys don't look all that tough
When I could really hold my own"
When I'm feelin' bulletproof
I used to be hell on wheels
So don't you double dog dare me now
"Hey buddy, how 'bout a helping hand?"
But I'm as good once as I ever was
May not be good as I once was
I still hang out with my best friend Dave

"But if you wanna fight tonight
Meet my twin sister Betty Lou"
Got in a tight spot, hustlin' a game of pool
My how the years have flown
But my pride says, "Oh, yes you can"
You're the only cowboy in this place
Now my body says, "You can't do this boy"
One great big fat biker man
When I could really lay it down"
I said, "I've been here a time or two"
'Cause I'd have to call your bluff
I'll put a big Texas smile on your face"

And if you're up for a rodeo
I said, "Dave, I ain't as good as I once was
I ain't as good as I once was
She said, "Hello, my name is Bobby Jo
"And we're both feeling kinda wild tonight
But there was a time, back in my prime
With a couple of redneck boys
I heard David yell across the room
But I'm as good once as I ever was"
I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was
Last night he had a few shots
I've known him since we were kids at school
Back when I was a younger man
I ain't as good as I once was
She said, "I've seen you in here before"
