Lucille lyrics
by Kenny Rogers
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 asked her the name
When the drinks finally hit her
She said: "I'm no quitter
But 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 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 hand was callused
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
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I had some bad times, lived through some sad times
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 barroom
To a rented hotel room
He 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
'Cause 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 had some bad times, lived through some sad times
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
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I had some bad times, lived through some sad times
This time your hurting won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
