(C)In
a bar in Toledo across from the depot
On a bar stool she took off her (G7)ring
I (Dmin)thought
I'd get closer so I (G7)walked
on over
I (Dmin)sat
down and (G7)asked
her (C)name
When the drinks finally hit her she said
I'm no quitter but I (C7)finally
quit livin' on (F)dreams
I'm (G7)hungry
for laughter and here ever after
I'm after what-ever the other life (C)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 be-side 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 shaking his big heart was breaking
He turned to the woman and said
(C)You
picked a fine time to leave me Lu-(F)cille
With four hungry children and a crop in the (C)field
(F)I've
had some bad times lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't (C)heal
You picked a (G7)fine
time to leave me Lu-(C)cille.
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 couldn't hold her 'cos the words that 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.
