Lyrics

On the road again
Just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I cant 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
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 cant wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I cant 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 making music with my friends
And I cant wait to get on the road again
And I cant wait to get on the road again
