One for My Baby (And One for the Road) Songtext
von Chuck Berry

It′s a quarter to three and there's no one in the place except you and me
So set ′em up Joe, I got a little story, you ought to know
We're drinkin' my friend, on to the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby, and one more for the road

I got the routine, gonna drop another quarter in this machine
Feelin′ so bad, I got to have the music dreamy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but you have got to be true to your code
Make it one for my baby, and one more for the road


Joe you′d never know it, but I'm a kind of poet
And I′ve got a lot of things to say
But when I'm gloomy, just listen to me until it′s all talked away

Well, that's how it goes, and Joe I know you′re gettin' anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer, hope you didn't mind my bendin′ your ear?
The torch that I found must be drowned or soon might explode
Make it one for my baby, and one more for the road

One more for the road
One more for the road
