This song is about Jeff Tweedy’s childhood memories of hanging out in the tavern where his grandfather worked. Tweedy expanded on this memory in an interview with New Orleans Public Radio:
My mother’s last plan, plan z, whenever she ran into childcare issues when she was working, was to drop me off...
Quarters Lyrics
[Verse]
The tavern where you worked
Was cold and dark as a cavern
You kept quarters in your shirt
But I never could just have them
You always made me sweep around every fly and floozie
Under booths and bums asleep
Waking up, they'd ask you, "Who's he?"
Behind a glass without a glance
"My daughter's boy," you would say
Well, I stood there in a trance
Listening to the jukebox play
[Instrumental Outro]
