Verse 1:
                   Bb
She said, "I've seen you in here before."

I said, "I've been here a time or two."
                    Bb
She said, "Hello, my name is Bobby Jo.
C             F
Meet my twin sister Betty Lou.
                    Bb
And we're both feeling kinda wild tonight.
C               F
You're the only cowboy in this place.
                G
And if you're up for a rodeo.
              C7        C
I'll put a big Texas smile on your face.?

I said, "Girls,"

Chorus:
              Bb
I ain't as good as I once was
C           F
I got a few years on me now
           Bb         C
But there was a time back in my prime
              F
When I could really lay it down
              Bb
And if you need some love tonight
C           F   C/E   Dm
Then I might have just enough
              Gm
I ain't as good as I once was
       C         Bb     Am Gm F
But I'm as good once as I ever was

Interlude: Bb C F Fsus4 F

Verse 2:
                 Bb
I still hang out with my best friend Dave
C                      F
I've known him since we were kids at school
                Bb
Last night he had a few shots
          C              F
Got in a tight spot hustlin' a game of pool
           Bb
With a couple of redneck boys
C            F
One great big, bad biker man
             G
I heard David yell across the room
                C7
"Hey buddy, how 'bout a helping hand."
      C
I said, "Dave,"

Chorus:
              Bb
I ain't as good as I once was
C       F
My how the years have flown
           Bb         C
But there was a time back in my prime
              F
When I could really hold my own
           Bb
But if you wanna fight tonight
C                  F     C/E   Dm
Guess those boys don't look all that tough
              Gm
I ain't as good as I once was
       C         Bb     Am Gm F
But I'm as good once as I ever was

Bridge:
         Eb         Bb/D
I used to be hell on wheels
           F
Back when I was younger man
             G7
Now my body says, "You can't Do this, boy."
              C7       C
But my pride says, "Oh, yes you can.?

Chorus 3:
              Bb
I ain't as good as I once was
C          F
That's just the cold, hard truth
              Bb            C
I still throw a few back, talk a little smack
           F
When I'm feelin' bullet proof
              Bb
So don't double dog dare me now
C            F      C/E   Dm 
'Cause I'd have to call your bluff
              Gm
I ain't as good as I once was
           C      Bb     Am Gm F
But I'm as good once as I ever was
              Bb
May not be good as I once was
       C         Bb 
But I'm as good once as I ever was
