A Beautiful Time Songtext
von Willie Nelson

Drinkin′ a black coffee in a little motel lobby
Waitin' on the band to come down
I′ve been travelin' across Texas
In a little station wagon
And draggin' a trailer around

I do the drivin′
They do the drinkin′
That's how I keep us alive
We played a good show
Last night in Waco
We still got an eight-hour drive

If I ever get old, I′ll still love the road
Still love the way that it winds
Now when the last song's been played
I′ll look back and say
I sure had a beautiful time


Now we're packed up and rollin′
Who cares where we're goin'
The radio′s playin′ sweet country sounds
Got the sun on my skin
My hair's in the wind
And all of the windows rolled down

If I ever get old, I′ll still love the road
Still love the way that it winds
When the last song's been played
I′ll look back and say
I sure had a beautiful time

They're havin′ a party
In the back seat, whoa, Lordy
Looks like they're all out of beer
They're laughin′ at good jokes
Rollin′ the good smoke
Why don't y′all pass that one up here?

If I ever get old, I'll still love the road
I′ll still love the way that it winds
When the last song's been played
I′ll look back and say
I sure had a beautiful time
I sure had a beautiful time
