Toby Keith – “As Good As I Once Was” (2005)

A country anthem for every guy who’s still got it… kind of.
With a wink, a grin, and just the right amount of bravado, “As Good As I Once Was” became one of Toby Keith’s most iconic and enduring hits. Released in 2005 from the album Honkytonk University, the song struck a chord with fans everywhere — mixing humor, honesty, and a dose of middle-aged reality.

The story? A man who’s past his prime but far from done. Whether it’s standing up in a bar fight or holding his own in a double date gone sideways, he might not have the stamina he used to — but he’s got one good round left in him.

at line didn’t just make people laugh — it became a legendary toast, a meme before memes, and a universal anthem for anyone who’s ever aged like fine whiskey and still shows up swinging.

 The song topped the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, earned critical acclaim, and quickly became a staple of Toby’s live shows — where fans of all ages belt it out with pride. It’s more than just a funny song. It’s a celebration of resilience, grit, and getting older without losing your edge.

 Still swaggering. Still standing.
Still Toby.
