VERSE 1:
In a bar in Toledo - across from the depot
On a barstool she took off her ring ─
I thought I’d get closer - so I walked on over
I sat down and ask 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” ─
VERSE 2:
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 shakin - his big heart was breakin
He turned to the woman and said ─
CHORUS in Bb:
“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” ─ ─ ─
[KEY CHANGE]
VERSE 3:
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 hotel room
We walked without talkin 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 cuz the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time ─
[CHORUS in C]
OUTRO:
You picked a fine time - to leave me, Lucille” ─
