Ginger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Except you and me
So set 'em' up Joe, I got a little story
You oughta know
We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
I got the routine, so drop another nickel
In the machine
I'm feeling so bad, I wish you'd make the music
Dreamy and sad
Could tell you a lot, but that's not
In a gentleman's code
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You'd never know it, but buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me
Until it's all talked away
Well that's how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin'
Anxious to close
Thanks for the beer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
Don't let it be said
Little Freddie couldn't carry his load
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
That long long road
The song "One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)" begins with the singer being in a nearly empty bar late at night. He's accompanied only by the bartender, and he's hoping to drown his sorrows by telling him a story. The story in question is about a brief episode in his life that has left him feeling down. He drinks his first shot in solidarity with his friend, enjoying the sensation of the alcohol going down. The second round, however, has more weight. The second round is for the road, signaling that he's moving on - but not in a good way. He's saying goodbye, and he'd prefer to do it with a glass in his hand.
The singer then drops a nickel in the jukebox, wishing for music that matches his mood. In a melancholic mood, he laments on life, the regrets that come with it, and the lessons he has learned. He tells Joe that he has a lot of things to say when he's gloomy, but listeners need to hear him out till he talks before he goes. He finishes the song by thanking Joe for the beer and saying goodbye with one last drink for himself and the road that lies ahead.
