She said I seen you in here before 
                        D 
I said I been here a time or two

She said Hello my name is Bobby Jo

And we're both feelin' kinda wild tonight 
                       D 
You're the only cowboy in this place 
                        E 
And if you're up for a rodeo

I'll put a big Texas smile on your face...I said girls...

But there was a time, back in my prime  
                     D             D/F#   D 
When I could really lay it down

If you need some love tonight

Verse 2: 
                         G               A 
I still hang out with my best friend Dave 
                              D 
I've known him since we were kids at school 
                         G                    A 
Last night he had a few shots, got in a tight spot 
            D 
Hustlin' a game of pool 
                   G            A 
With a couple of redneck boys 
                    D 
One great big fat biker man 
                     E 
I heard David yell across the room 
                       A                           N/C 
Hey buddy, how 'bout a helpin' hand...I said Dave.... 
                 G        A 
I ain't as good as I once was 
            D 
My how the years have flown 
                 G                A 
But there was a time, back in my prime 
                      D         D/F#   D         
When I could really hold my own 
                G             A 
If you want to fight tonight 
                           D         D/F#  Bm 
Guess them boys don't look all that tough 
                      G                    A 
I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once

I used to be hell on wheels  
                    D 
Back when I was a younger man 
                  E 
Now my body says you can't do this boy  
                      A            N/C 
But my pride says oh yes you can... 
                  G         A 
I ain't as good as I once was 
                 D 
That's just the cold hard truth 
                     G                   A 
I still throw a few back, talk a little smack 
                  D           D/F#  S 
When I'm feelin' bullet proof 
                     G            A 
So don't double-dog dare me now 
                        D              D/F#  Bm    
'Cause I might have to call your bluff 
                      G                   A 
I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once

As I ever was
