Ray Charles - One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) Lyrics






It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you and me
So, set 'em up, Joe, I got a little story you oughta know
We're drinkin', my friend, to the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby and one more for the road
I got the routine, so drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feelin' so bad, wish you'd make the music pretty and sad
Could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your code
So, 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 got a lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me
Till it's all talked away
Well that's how it goes and Joe, I know your gettin' pretty anxious to close
So, thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear
This torch that I found must be drowned or it soon might explode
So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road
That long, long road

  29. C.... ....

    This legend isn't getting any older. He looks the same every year.

    He has his own level of age. Like first he was young, then middle age, then kinda old, but now just stuck at Willie Nelson age.

  30. L.... S....

    nice ! I haven't heard this sone since sometime in the early 70's... Sinatra.

  31. H.... B....

    If youwant to ho back and forth, go for it. Have nothing better to do.

  32. H.... B....

    Willie Nelson Could Teach the young people something moderation The Balancing Act of bad habits and good ones

    g.... s....

    glenn smythe Good idea, but I’m not so sure the young people are interested in learning much of anything.... ( that’s not how they’ve been raised). But it IS a good idea!

  39. B.... ....

    Beautiful Willie!!!

  40. L.... ....

    Thank you Willie, bless you, you are a treasure, much love... Go Beto...

  41. S.... s....

    Fuck Willie Nelson, one of my top all time favorite artist. Been to a bunch of his concernts, been 2 just this year alone. Buy shirts and memorabilia every time I have gone. Took all his shit off my walls in my music room but it in boxes and gave it to my son to sale on eBay. I won't listen to or buy anything from someone that supports communism and destruction of the great state of Texas. When Willie dies Waylon should meet him at the gate and punch him right in the face.

  42. C.... G....

    I love this! and published birthday!!! you are one amazing artist!!!!!!! love from South-Africa

    C.... G....

    South Africa? Very cool, loving you some Willie

  43. N.... V....

    GOD BLESS WILLIE NELSON

  46. R.... D....

    O.... S....

    Ove Stølan

  66. M.... G....

    first time hearing this guy and relay start love him

  67. r.... p....

    Love him too just a legend

  68. A.... S....

    He purely represents American singing

  69. �.... ....

    ОХУЕННО!

  70. P.... p....

    Willie how could you side with the Dems ! Should have stayed out of it now your campaigning for the party of antifa and socialism ! So Disappointed Waylon Jennings is rolling in his grave

    P.... p....

    You really think Willie would support a guy who wants to keep pot illegal? Lol Cruz is a joke, and Willie is smart enough to see it.

    P.... p....

    Tanya Guess you want all illegals to be legal ! If you vote to legalize weed it will be Ted Cruz has nothing to do with weed legalization in fact weed was never legal until trump took the White House ! Obama never legalized it but he did start lots of illegal wars and bankrupted the country !

    P.... p....

    Tanya Guess your not smart enough to see it !

    P.... p....

    Patrick, you're a complete fucking idiot if you didn't know Willie was a liberal.

    P.... p....

    Honey, Willie's been a liberal probably longer than you've been alive. How you never picked up on that in all his songs, I have no idea.

  71. J.... R....

    DO YOU KNOW THAT Willie HAVING A CONCERT SEP. 29TH FOR THE DEMOCRATS ! WHAT A SHAME. HE SMOKED ONE TO MANY !!!!!!!!

  72. W.... M....

    It ain't conservative backlash, it's Russian backlash. God bless you Willie. Austin still loves you, Texas still loves you, and America still loves you.

    W.... M....

    Anon people have gotten angry at Willie for endorsing Beto (a democrat running for TX senate)

  73. m.... g....

    The American people will never knowingly adoddpt Socialism.  But, under the name of 'Liberalism', they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
    He  (head of the communist group in America ) went on to say: "We no longer need to run a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party.  The Democrat Party has adopted our platform." Communism

  74. L.... M....

    Beautiful!

  75. K.... M....

    Now this is a legend..not micheal Jackson

  76. J.... M....

    IM AT A LOST WILLIE NELSON YOU WANT US TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC SORRY YOU JUST LOST A FAN


    DONALD J TRUMP 2020

  81. K.... G....

    17 Texas Conservatives disliked this video after hearing about Willie's Free rally and concert supporting Beto O'Rourke! Love ya, Willie!

  82. a.... m....

    I love you.... I give you my heart... ❤

  83. A.... D....

    I will not talk to Knox Nursing Home and havent

  84. K.... R....

    Like Frank and Ella, et. al., Willie has a way around a standard tune that is peerless in this day and age. He brings a solid, unapologetic truth to these songs, his phrasing singular, his style inimitable. No matter what the genre of music, Willie takes a song and makes it his own; he makes good songs better and better songs the best. He is legend. He is one of our true national treasures.

  85. K.... A....

    You threw me a hat way back when and my little sister caught ! Only cause she bumped me out the way !!! You said ,"i threw that to ya !" I said yea she is my sister!!! You just chuckled and sang we can choose family...You are awesomely amazing Willie! Thank you! P.S. she still has your hat ! Lol

    K.... A....

    Only his familey and thats wss unquestionable.

  86. A.... D....

    Awesome, more of this please!

  87. A.... C....

    Wish Waylon and Johnny were here to hear this!

  88. N.... ....

    Willie sounds great. This is a trademark Sinatra saloon song.

  89. t.... n....

    Poesia.

  90. c.... ....

    I adore Willie, big fan👍🇬🇧🇬🇧✌️✌️

  91. I.... K....

    One of the worlds biggest potheads still alive at age 85. Fuck you anti marijuana propaganda

  92. F.... ....

    So easy to listen to and appreciate the talent.

  93. D.... F....

    She still is and always will be on your mind. Beautiful.Just one more for the road. Peace and thank for all the wounderful memoerios.

  94. L.... V....

    Willie Nelson, Thanks for the cheer & I will always hold you dear to my heart & soul ~ you are more precious than gold!!!

  95. H.... 7....

    Some great music from a LEGEND. I've always loved Willie's music.
    Kinda want to try his cannabis lol

  96. L.... L....

    I'll be seeing Willie in Houston in November. Can't wait!

  97. J.... B....

    I definitely got a „crush“ on WN when he did albums with Wynton Marsalis, I was completely beamed away into olden times, then came his reggae album, no words left to say, and now I can‘t await his Sinatra CD, this will make me more happy than anything else, big thank you dear Mr. Nelson

  98. T.... S....

    Dude I thought you were dead

  99. J.... B....

    The red headed stranger still got it
