Can anyone help? I will not be home for a few days and my CD is at home. But if anyone has this recording, I need to know where the Break comes in. Here is the lyric. Where is the Break? Or is there more than one in his record?

I recall the Break being his guitar instrumental playing the Verse progression. Is it after the 2nd chorus? In other words, what is the structure of the song, as recorded?

I am recording this song but I want to lay it down as recorded.

“ON THE ROAD AGAIN” – Willie Nelson

[ VERSE 1: ]
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

[ VERSE 2: ]
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again

[ CHORUS: ]
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insistin’ that the world be turnin' our way
And our way... is

[ VERSE 1 – REPEAT ]

[ CHORUS – REPEAT ]

[ VERSE 1 – REPEAT ]
And I can't wait to get on the road again

Bill, I'll listen and let you know. I just play it whenever I want to, but usually after the chorus.

O.k. He sings the "chorus", then the "bridge", (where it goes up to the fourth), then the chorus again, then the ride, or break, then another bridge, another chorus and tag.

Okay, thanks. But I am confused. Let me re-label these sections and post here. I'll call you.

“ON THE ROAD AGAIN” – Willie Nelson

[ A: ]
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

[ B: ]
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again

[ C: ]
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insistin’ that the world be turnin' our way
And our way... is
