On the Road Again

Real life alternative lyrics for one of the best Willie Nelson songs, “On the road again“, where the author shares the pains of being on the road as often as he has been in the last 15 years.

On the road again

I have a painful need to be gone again

The life I know is doing business and seeing friends

But I can’t wait to be bored and home again

On the road again

Staying in neighborhoods I know too well

Always the same shit, this will make me go insane

Oh man, I dread being on the road again

On the road again

Like a flock of vultures, we crave rotten ailments

They’re my closest friends

And they make it worth it giving up on my ways

And now it’s our ways

On the road again

Another boarding pass, oh god, that’s lame

The life I know is flyin’ and hangin’ with my friends

And I can’t wait to get high and drunk with them

[Instrumental Intermission]

On the road again

Most of them stay home, I cross the skies to hug them

We’re the bestest friends

Insisting that we’re young and partying harder

Our new way

On the road again

Am I Joel or am I Jack today?

Anything slower and my temper goes to shit

And I can’t do this anymore, I’m dead

Yet my life’s me stuck on the road again
