on the road again
(K-Rose) Willie Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making 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
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 keep turning our way
And our way
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
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
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
Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again” is a classic tribute to life on tour. The song captures the excitement of the open road and the joy of playing music with friends. The opening lines, “Just can’t wait to get on the road again / The life I love is making music with my friends” perfectly encapsulate the spirit of the song. It is about the simple pleasures of life on tour - seeing new places, meeting new people and making music with your best friends.
The song conjures up images of a group of musicians cramped into a tour bus, travelling from town to town, playing shows and living life on their own terms. The lyrics describe the tour as a never-ending adventure, filled with new experiences and endless possibilities. The repeated line “And I can’t wait to get on the road again” conveys the excitement of being on tour, and the anticipation of the next show.
Nelson’s lyrics also speak to the personality and spirit of those who choose to live a nomadic lifestyle, touring and performing for a living. The carefree, wandering spirit of the gypsy is celebrated throughout the song, with the repeated references to “a band of gypsies” travelling down the highway. Ultimately, “On the Road Again” is about freedom, independence and the joy of pursuing one's passion.

Back in the 80's as my co-driver wife and I left the driveway pulling our rally car headed out of state she always started singing this. Lost her to cancer in '06. Now 85, I still cry every time I hear Willie sing it.
