One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

It's quarter to three
There's no one in the place except you and me
So set 'em up Joe
I've got a little story you oughta know

We're drinking my friend
To the end of a brief episode
Just give me one for my baby
And one more for the road

I've 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

I could tell you a lot
But you've got to be true to your code
So give me one for my baby
And one more for the road
Just give me one for my baby
And one more for the road
