As Good As I Once Was Toby Keith 2005 | (ESP 1091) Elmer Sheffield, Jr. |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Plus
Head ladies in, teacup chain
*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 Bobbie-Jo
Meet my twin sister Betty-Lou"
Circle left
**We're both feelin' kinda wild tonight
Left allemande and promenade all right
I said: "Girls, I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was."
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*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
**I heard David yell out: How 'bout a hand?
*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 feelin' bulletproof
**So don't double-dog dare me now
FIGURE Plus, corner progression
Heads square thru 4 you know
Round the corner, dosado
Swing thru tonight, let the boys run right
1/2 tag, follow your neighbor and spread
Same sexes trade, swing your corner, promenade
Now my body says: "You can't do this, man."
But my pride says: "Oh yes, you can."
TAG
Give 'er a swing now
May not be as good as I once was
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was
