Toby Keith – As Good As I Once Was

Toby Keith is here once more with this poweful song titled “As Good As I Once.” I’m deeply sadden to let you know that Toby is late. Toby Keith Covel was an American prolific country music singer, songwriter, record producer, actor and businessman.

The gifted country star gave up on 5th February 2024, aged 62 years in Oklahoma, United States of America. May his soul rest in peace. Heaven at last my beloved.

However, this very song resonated from his studio album titled “Honkytonk University”, which he released in the year 2015. Listen and enjoy the vibe!

Review;

1. R.I.P. Toby, I didn’t really like country until I started listening to your music! Hope your in heaven singing with the angels brother!
2. The story of my life . Thank you Toby for expressing what we middle aged men shamefully feel. Rest in Peace buddy.
3. A regular dude that kept moving and gave us all a lot of good times. I miss him badly already.

Lyrics:

She said, “I’ve seen you in here before.”

I said, “I’ve been here a time or two.”

She said, “Hello, my name is Bobby Jo.

Meet my twin sister Betty Lou.

And we’re both feeling kinda wild tonight.

You’re the only cowboy in this place.

And if you’re up for a rodeo,

I’ll put a big Texas smile on your face.”

I said, “Girls,

I ain’t as good as I once was

I got a few years on me now

But there was a time

Back in my prime

When I could really lay it down.

And if you need some love tonight

Then I might have just enough.

I ain’t as good as I once was,

But I’m as good once as I ever was.”

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 bad biker man.

I heard David yell across the room,

“Hey, buddy, how ’bout a helping 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.

But if you wanna 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.”

I used to be hell on wheels

Back when I was a younger man.

Now my body says, “You can’t do this, boy,”

But my pride says, “Oh, yes you can.”

I ain’t as good as I once was.

That’s just the cold hard truth.

I still throw a few back,

Talk a little smack

When I’m feeling 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.

May not be good as I once was,

But I’m as good once as I ever was.

…..THE END
