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 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 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 whiskey, 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 couldn't hold her, but 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 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 You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
