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
