Lucille

[id: uqpvklcs]
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 the name
When the drinks finlly hit her
She said Im no quitter
But I finlly quit living on dreams
Im hungry for laughter
And, here ever after
Im 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 women
Who sat there beside 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 shakin
His big heart was breakin
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
Ive had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting wont heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
After he left us
I ordered more whiskey
I thought how shed 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 id lost my mind
Cause I couldnt hold her
The words that he 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
Ive had some bad times
Lived through somesad times
But this time your hurting wont heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
