In a bar in Toledo
Across from the depot
On a bar stool she took off her ring
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 whatever the other life brings
In the mirror I saw him
And I closely watched him
I saw that look in his eye
He walked toward us
To the woman beside me
Sat down and started to cry
His 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 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
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
Oh she was a beauty
When she came onto me
She must have thought that I'd lost my mind
But I couldn't hold her
The words that he told her
Came back to me 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
