On the Road Again (Willie Nelson song)

Common card · No. 246873

"On the Road Again" (also labelled as "On the Road Again (Live)" in various album track listings) is a song written and recorded by American country music singer Willie Nelson. The song, about life on tour, came about when Jerry Schatzberg and Sydney Pollack—the director and executive producer, respectively, of the 1980 film Honeysuckle Rose, in which Nelson starred—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.
