Lucille

In a bar in toledo across from the depot

On a barstool she took off her ring

I thought Id get closer

So I walked on over

I sat down and asked her name

When the drink finally hit her

She said Im 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

I closely watch him

I thought how he looked out of place

He came to the woman

Who sat their beside me

He had a strange look on his face

The big hands are callous

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 the fine time to leave me' lucille

Four hungry children and a crop in the field

Ive had some bad time

Live thru some sad times

But this time your hurtin wouldnt heal

You picked the fine time to leave me' lucille

After he left us' I ordered more whiskey

I thought how he made him look small

From 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 lost my mind

I couldnt hold her' the words that he told her

Kept coming back time after time.

You picked the fine time to leave me' lucille

Four hungry children and a crop in the field

Ive had some bad time

Live thru some sad times

But this time your hurtin wouldnt heal

You picked the fine time to leave me' lucille

Four hungry children and a crop in the field

Ive had some bad time

Live thru some sad times

But this time your hurtin wouldnt heal
