Willie Nelson Didn’t Expect ‘On the Road Again’s Success
There can be a lot of pressure with songwriting. Nelson wrote "On the Road Again" for 1980's Honeysuckle Rose. The singer played Buck Bonham, a traveling country singer who is in a love triangle. Amy Irving and Dyan Cannon played his love interests.
The movie wasn't as memorable as the hit. The song was nominated for Best Original Song at the Oscars, but lost to "Fame" for Fame. Nelson looked back at the song he quickly wrote on a plane in his book, Energy Follows Thought: The Stories Behind My Songs.
"On the Road" became an anthem without him trying. But it was also very personal to the writer. "Without knowing or trying, in a few little lines I’d written the story of my life," he claimed.
It's one of the many songs played during the main character's run across the country in Forrest Gump. That film won six Oscars, including Best Picture.
