And we just toyed with some things.
Riley GreenGUEST
And when we found that vocal of I Ain't As Good As I Once Was, that was such a cool moment for me to have that on the song.
Riley GreenGUEST
And the fact that, you know, they all wanted him to be a part of it.
Riley GreenGUEST
It's just the tip of the cap of somebody that influenced me a lot in music.
Ward HeinrichsGUEST

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 retinic boys One great big fat biker man I heard David yell across the room Hey buddy, how about a helping hand? I said, Dave I ain't as good as I once was How the years have flown But there was a time Back in my prime When I could really hold my own If you wanna fight tonight Guess those 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 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 want to be That's just a cold hard truth.
Toby KeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I still throw a few back.
Toby KeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Talk a little smack.
Toby KeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So don't double dog dare me now.
Toby KeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Cause I'd have to call your bluff.
Toby KeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I ain't as good as I once was.
Toby KeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But I'm as good once as I ever was.
Riley GreenGUEST
So we were looking at what does that mean? I was firmly against any type of AI version of his vocal doing my lyric.
Riley GreenGUEST
But Dan Huff sent me an edit of just his voice from I Ain't As Good As I Once Was right there at the end, and I thought, man, that's just a perfect little surprise, tip of the cap, and a great little moment in the song.
Riley GreenGUEST
And we sent it to them, and they all loved it, so it worked out like it did.
Lisa KonickiHOST
It sounds great.
Riley GreenGUEST
is.

What did Toby mean to you? Was he one of your influences growing up? Were you listening to him?
Riley GreenGUEST
Toby was one of my dad's favorite, what I would call modern country music artists, which, you know, at the time when I was a kid, he was new, you know what I mean? And my dad always said that I ain't as good as I once was, Toby took that from him.
Riley GreenGUEST
He always said, he said that all the time, you know? But what a...
Oran JacksonHOST
