As Good As I Once Was

Toby Keith

Transposer:

Intro : She said I seen you in here before     I said I been here a time or two She said Hello my name is Bobby Jo       Meet my twin sister Betty Lou And we're both feelin'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               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 fat biker man I heard 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 them 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 feelin'bullet proof            So don't double-dog dare me now      'Cause I might have to call your bluff           I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once As I ever was              I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once As I ever was

La chanson évoque un homme qui se remémore ses jeunes années, quand il était plus vif et audacieux. Aujourd'hui, bien qu'il admette avoir pris de l'âge et ne plus être à la hauteur de ce qu'il était, il garde néanmoins une certaine fierté. Il se souvient avec nostalgie de ses escapades et de ses compétences, que ce soit pour impressionner des filles ou pour se défendre dans des situations tendues. Malgré ses limitations actuelles, il se considère toujours capable, au moins une fois, de montrer de quoi il est encore capable. Dans ce récit, on ressent une ambiance de camaraderie et d'amusement, où il cherche à s’amuser avec des amis dans un bar. Les références à des souvenirs partagés et à des défis passés ajoutent une touche de réalisme et de chaleur à son récit. C'est une célébration des bons vieux temps, tout en acceptant les changements inévitables du temps qui passe.
