F#m          B      F#m B
Getting back on the road
   F#m      B    F#m B
Is all I've ever known
       F#m     B      F#m  B
It was written in the stars
          F#m        B        F#m  B
One night stands guitars and bars

       F#m
On the road again since I can't remember when
                                                G
It's back to the music where I know I can lose it

Chorus:
                        G
On the road on the road
                D
I'm ready to explode
                      G
I feel a heavy heavy load
                    D
On the road on the road
             G            D
Through the wind and the rain
         G          D
Through wild her a game
         G              D
There's nothing we can do
G        D                F#m B F#m B
When I'm on the road with you

Set my sails and make my plans
Yeah, the whole damn thing is in my hands

'Cause life is long and it takes its toll
So turn the lights down low and let
the good times roll

Chorus

      F#m
Don't wanna be bad nor the president or Tyson
                                               G
Chairman or the milkman stranger or the mail man
I'm just me

Chorus:
On the road, on the road
I am ready to explode (on the road, on the road)
I feel a heavy, heavy load
(on the road, on the road)
On the road, on the road (on the road, on the road)
Oh, yeah (whoa-whoa)

(Whoa-whoa)
(Whoa-whoa)
(Whoa-whoa)
On the road again (whoa-whoa)
Since I can't remember when (whoa-whoa)
It's back to the music (whoa-whoa)
Where I know I can lose it (whoa-whoa)
