From the recording COOL FREDDIE E & THE CREW - VOLUME II
"On the Road Again" is a song written and made famous by American country music singer Willie Nelson. The song, about life on tour, came about when the executive producer of the film Honeysuckle Rose approached Nelson about writing the song for the film's soundtrack. "On the Road Again" became Nelson's 9th Country & Western No. 1 hit overall (6th as a solo recording act) in November 1980, and became one of Nelson's most recognizable tunes. In addition, the song reached No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, and No. 7 on the Adult Contemporary chart. It was his biggest pop hit to that time and won him a Grammy Award for Best Country Song a year later.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN LYRICS
WILLIE NELSON - 1980
Performed by Cool Freddie e & The Crew
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.
On the road again,
Goin' places that I've never been.
Seein' things that I may never see again,
And I can't wait to get on the road again.
On the road again,
Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway.
We're the best of friends,
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way.
And our way.
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,
On the road again,
Goin' places that I've never been.
Seein' things that I may never see again,
And I can't wait to get on the road again.
(Instrumental)
On the road again,
Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway.
We're the best of friends,
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way.
And our way.
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.
We can’t wait to get on the road again.
