On the Road (Bryan Adams song)

"On the Road" is a rock song written and performed by Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adams. It was released in 1992 as a single from his sixth studio album, Waking Up the Neighbours.

The song is an upbeat, driving rock anthem, characterized by its prominent guitar riff and Adams's raspy vocals. Lyrically, "On the Road" celebrates the freedom and adventure associated with travel and being on tour. The lyrics evoke images of open highways, different cities, and the energy of live performances. The song speaks to the camaraderie between band members and the excitement of experiencing new places.

While not one of Adams' biggest chart-topping hits globally compared to tracks like "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)," "On the Road" was a popular track, particularly in certain territories. It became a concert staple for Adams, frequently performed live at his shows. The song helped to solidify Waking Up the Neighbours as a commercially successful album.

The song's production is credited to Mutt Lange, known for his work with numerous rock and pop artists. Lange's influence contributed to the song's polished and radio-friendly sound. "On the Road" is often included on Bryan Adams' compilation albums.
