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 name
- When the drinks finally hit her
- She said I'm no quitter but I finally quit livin 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 there be-side me
- He had a strange look on his face
- The 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
- But this time your hurting 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 bar room
- To a rented hotel room
- We walked without talking at all
- She was a beauty but when she came to me
- She must have thought I'd lost my mind
- I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that told her
- Kept coming 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 your hurting 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 your hurting won't heal
- You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
