Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][A][D][D]

[Verse 1]
She said, "I've seen you in here [G]before"
[A]I said, "I've been here a time or [D]two"
She said, "Hello, my name is [G]Bobbi Jo
[A]Meet my twin sister Betty [D]Lou
And we're both feeling kinda [G]wild tonight
[A]You're the only cowboy in [D]this place
And If your up for a ro[E]deo
I'll put a big Texas [A]smile on your face"
I said, "Girls..."

[Chorus 1]
I ain't as good as I [G]once [A]was
I got a few [D]years on me now
But there was a [G]time, back in my [A]prime
When I could really [D]lay it down
And if you need some [G]love [A]tonight
Then I might have [D]just e[A]nough
[Bm]I ain't as good as I once [Em]was
But I'm as [A]good once as I ev[G]er was
[D][Em][D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][A][D][D]

[Verse 2]
I still hang out with my [G]best friend Dave
[A]I've known him since we were kids at [D]school
Last night he had a few [G]shots
Got in a tight [A]spot
Hustling a game [D]of pool
With a couple of [G]redneck boys
[A]One great big fat bik[D]er man
I heard David yell a[E]cross the room
"Hey, buddy, how 'bout a help[A]ing hand?"
I said, "Dave..."

[Chorus 2]
I ain't as good as I [G]once [A]was
My, how the [D]years have flown
But there was a [G]time, back in my [A]prime
When I could really [D]hold my own
But if you wanna [G]fight [A]tonight
Guess those boys don't look [D]all that [A]tough
[Bm]I ain't as good as I once [Em]was
But I'm as [A]good once as I ev[G]er was
[D][Em][D]

[Bridge 1]
I used to be [C]hell on [G]wheels
Back when I was a [D]younger man
Now my body says, [E]"You can't do this boy"
But my pride says, yes "Oh [A]yes, you can"

[Chorus 3]
I ain't as good as I [G]once [A]was
That's just the [D]cold, hard truth
I still throw a few [G]back, talk a little [A]smack
When I'm feeling bul[D]let proof
So don't double-dog [G]dare me [A]now
'Cause I'd have to [D]call your [A]bluff
[Bm]I ain't as good as I once [Em]was
But I'm as [A]good once as I ev[G]er was
[D][Em][D]
May not be good as I [G]once was
But I'm as [A]good once as I ev[G]er was
[D][Em][D]

[Outro 1]
[G][A][D][D]
