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 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 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 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 you're 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 talkin' 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 'Cuz 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 I've had some bad times Lived through some sad times But this time you're 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 you're hurting won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
