Lucille
In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
- In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
- On a bar stool she took off her ring
- I thought I'd get closer
- So I walked on over
- I sat down and asked her her name
- When the drinks finally hit her
- She said I'm no quitter
- But I finally quit living on dreams
- I'm hungry for laughter
- And here ever after
- I'm after whatever the other life brings
- In the mirror I saw him
- And I closely watched him
- I thought how he looked out of place
- He came to the woman
- Who sat down beside her
- He had a strange look on his face
- His big hands were calloused
- He looked like a mountain
- For a minute I thought I was dead
- But he started shaking
- His big heart was breaking
- He turned to the woman and said
- You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
- With four hungry children and a crop in the field
- I've had some bad times
- Lived through some sad times
- This time the hurtin' won't heal
- You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
- After he left us I ordered more whiskey
- I thought how she'd made him look small
- From the lights of the barroom to the rented hotel room
- We walked without talking at all
- She was a beauty when she came to me
- She must have thought I'd lost my mind
- I couldn't hold her for the words that he told her
- Kept comin' back time after time
- You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
- With four hungry children and a crop in the field
- I've had some bad times
- Lived through some sad times
- But this time the hurtin' won't heal
- You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
- You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
- With four hungry children and a crop in the field
- I've had some bad times
- Lived through some sad times
- But this time the hurtin' won't heal
- You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
