Discover the story of the song > One For My Baby – dianne reeves

The song is about a woman (referred to as "she") sitting alone with her partner ("him") in a bar late at night. She tells the bartender, Joe, to pour another drink for her and shares that she is feeling sad and has a lot on her mind that she wishes she could talk about. She asks Joe to play some sad music to complement her mood and to have one last drink before leaving ("one for my baby and one more for the road").
