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
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 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 callused
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 motel room
We walked
without talkin' at all
She was a beauty
And 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
