Willie Nelson - A Beautiful Time Lyrics

Drinkin' black coffee in a little motel lobby
Waitin' on the band to come down
I've been traveling across Texas
In an old station wagon and dragging a trailer around

Oh, I do the driving, they do the drinkin'
That's how I keep us alive
We played a good show, last night in Waco
But 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
And when the last song's been played, I'll look back and say
"I sure had a beautiful time"

And we're packed up and rollin', who cares where we're going
The radio's playing 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, oh Lordy
Looks like they're all out of beet
They're laughing at good jokes, rolling 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"
