Lucille - Live

Lyrics

In a bar in Toledo
 Across from the depot
 On a bar stool she took off her ring
 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 livin' 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 saw that look in his eye
 He walked toward us
 To the woman beside me
 Sat down and started to cry
 His 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 your hurting won't heal
 You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
 After he left us
 I ordered more whisky
 I thought how she'd made him look small
 From the lights of the bar room
 To a rented hotel room
 We walked without talking at all
 Oh she was a beauty
 When she came onto me
 She must have thought that I'd lost my mind
 But I couldn't hold her
 The words that he told her
 Came back to me 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 your hurting won't heal
 You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
