Testo Lucille

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 sai I'm no quitter but I finally quit livin' on dreams I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm after what-ever 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 crops 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 She was a beauty but when she came to me she must have thought I'd lost my mind I could'nt hold her, 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 your hurting won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.
