Just for FUN!
I used to be hell on wheels
Back when I was 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
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.
– Toby Keith, Country music singer, As Good as I once Was.
