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
AND 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 SHAKIN'
HIS BIG HEART
WAS BREAKIN'
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
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 A RENTED
HOTEL ROOM
WE WALKED WITHOUT
TALKIN' AT ALL
SHE WAS A BEAUTY
BUT WHEN SHE
CAME TO ME
SHE MUST'VE THOUGHT
I'D LOST MY MIND
I COULDN'T HOLD HER
'CAUSE THE WORDS
THAT HE TOLD HER
KEPT COMIN' 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
HURTIN' WON'T HEAL
YOU PICKED A FINE TIME
TO LEAVE ME LUCILLE
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
HURTIN' WON'T HEAL
YOU PICKED A FINE TIME
TO LEAVE ME LUCILLE
YOU PICKED A FINE TIME
TO LEAVE ME LUCILLE
