Lucille Lyrics

Lucille

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 the
name
when the drinks fin’lly hit her, she said „I‘m no quitter, but fin’lly 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 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 hand were callused, he looked like a mountain, for a minute I thought I
was dead
be he started shakin‘, his big heart was breakin‘, 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 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 whiskey, I thought how she‘d made him look
small
from the lights of the barroom to a rented hotel room, he 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, ´cause the words that he told her kept coming back time
after time

CHORUS
CHORUS
