Willie Nelson crowns ‘On The Road Again’ as his favourite song: “A lot of fans think so, too”

Willie Nelson has named ‘On the Road Again’ his favourite song, saying its theme resonates with fans because they can relate to it. The 93-year-old made the remark while discussing his memoir, The Last Leaf, and says he has no plans to stop touring.

Written for the 1980 film Honeysuckle Rose, the song became a crossover hit, topped the Billboard Country Chart and won a Grammy for Best Country Song. Nelson has performed it more than 1,100 times in concert; in the same interview, he recalled working for Donald Trump at an Atlantic City resort and said he disagrees with practically everything Trump has tried to do politically.
