Another on the Way
Hope Amidst Heartbreak: Another on the Way by Megan Moroney
Lyrics
Miss Daisy runs the run-down bar on the wrong side of the tracks
Miss Daisy manages a run-down bar on the less prosperous side of town.
She knows why I'm here, don't feel the need to ask
She understands the reason for the narrator's presence without the need for inquiry.
Whiskey, hold the ice, she said, "This should ease the pain
Miss Daisy suggests a drink without ice, stating it will alleviate pain, and hints at the transient nature of relationships by saying there's another person coming soon.
Shoot this one, there's another on the way"
The advice to "shoot this one" implies moving on from the current relationship because there's another one on the horizon.
Baby, don't you cry, 'cause men, they're like trains
Encouragement not to cry over a failed relationship, using the analogy that men are like trains; if one is missed, there's another coming.
If you miss one, there's another on the way
Reiteration of the idea that if a relationship is missed, there will be another one soon.
And tonight, it might be rainin' but there are always sunny days
Despite current difficulties ("raining"), there will be better times ("sunny days").
Keep your head up, kid, there's another on the way
Encouragement to persevere, as another relationship is on the horizon.
Miss Daisy's got a skull tattoo where a diamond ring should be
Description of Miss Daisy's unconventional appearance with a skull tattoo instead of a diamond ring.
Red lipstick on a cigarette, she blew a cloud at me

She said, "I been where you are, he left without a trace
Miss Daisy reveals she has experienced a similar situation, abandoned with responsibilities, hinting at resilience.
With two mouths to feed and another on the way"
Reference to having two children to care for and anticipating another one.
Baby, don't you cry, 'cause men, they're like trains
Repeat of the advice not to cry over a lost relationship, using the train analogy.
If you miss one, there's another on the way

There's always one more, one more comin' down the tracks
Expressing the idea that there is always another relationship ("one more") approaching.
One more, one more, go on, throw 'em back
Suggesting a nonchalant attitude toward relationships, advising to let them go ("throw 'em back").
One more, one more comin' down the tracks
