[Verse 3] Is on the road again I just can't wait to get on the road again The life I love is makin' music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again
[Chorus] On the road again Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway We're the best of friends Insisting that the world keep turning our way And our way
[Verse 4] Is on the road again Just can't wait to get on the road again The life I love is makin' music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again And I can't wait to get on the road again
[Outro] Alright, thank you very much.

Willie Nelson starred as an aging rocker in the film Honeysuckle Rose. While on an airplane flight, he was asked to write a song about ‘being on the road’ for the film by director Jerry Schatzberg and executive producer Sydney Pollack, so he grabbed a barf bag and proceeded to write “On The Road Again” on it.
The song topped the US Country Chart and crossed over to pop, peaking at #20 in late 1980. The song won a Grammy the following year for Best Country Song.
