If this describes you don’t worry, you are not alone. “As Good as I Once Was” is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Toby Keith It was released in May 2005 as the second single from Keith’s album Honkytonk University. Keith wrote the song with Scotty Emerick. The narrator, a man approaching or in middle age and apparently sitting in a bar, is put into situations that test his masculinity. Having outlived his glory days, he insists he now is no longer “as good as [he] once was” in his younger days, but although he no longer has the stamina to do what he used to do all the time, he can still be “as good, once, as [he] ever was.”
