BREAK (Intro)
Verse:
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 fat biker man
I David yell across the room
"Hey buddy, how bout a helpin' 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
If you want to 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
Bridge:
EbBb
I used to be hell on wheels
F
Back when I was a younger man
G
Now my body say's you can't do this boy
C
But my pride say's oh yes you can
Chorus:
I ain't as good as I once was
Thats just the cold hard truth
I still throw a few back, talk a little smack
When I'm feelin 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
TURNAROUND
Hey, I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was
