 In a bar in To-ledo ac-ross 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 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 what-ever 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 be-side 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 Lu-cille

 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 Lu-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 ho-tel 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 could'nt hold her 'cos the words that told her kept

 coming back time after time

 You picked a fine time to leave me Lu-cille

 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 Lu-cille.
