Lucille Lyrics |
||
 In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot, On a barstool she took off her ring. I thought I`d get closer So I walked on over. I sat down and asked her 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, [Chorus] "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, I`ve lived through some sad times, But this time the hurtin` 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 barroom to the 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, for the words that he told her Kept comin` back time after time. [Chorus] "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, I`ve lived through some sad times, But this time the hurtin` won`t heal. You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille. [Chorus] "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, I`ve lived through some sad times, But this time the hurtin` won`t heal. |
