In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
On a barstool, she took off her ring
On a barstool, she took off her ring
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over
I sat down and asked her name
I sat down and asked her name
When the drinks finally hit her she said 'I'm no quitter
When the drinks finally hit her she said 'I'm no quitter
But I finally quit livin' on dreams
But I finally quit livin' on dreams
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after
I'm after whatever the other life brings'
I'm after whatever the other life brings
In the mirror, I saw him and I closely watched him
In the mirror, I saw him and I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of place
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face
He had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain
His big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
For a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking, his big heart was breaking
But he started shaking, his big heart was breaking
He turned to the woman and said
He turned to the woman and said
'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
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't heal
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'
After he left us, I ordered more whiskey
After he left us, I ordered more whiskey
I thought how she'd made him look small
I thought how she'd made him look small
From the lights of the barroom
From the lights of the barroom
To a rented hotel room
To a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at all
We walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
She was a beauty but when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her
I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time
Kept coming back time after time
'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
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't heal
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
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
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't heal
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'
