Karaoke Lucille

One, two, three, four
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
Sat down and asked her her name
When the drinks fin'lly hit her she said I'm no quitter
But I finally quit livin' on dreams
Hungry for laughter and here ever after
I'm after whatever the other life brings
In the mirror I saw him
I closely watched him
I saw the look in his eyes
He came to the woman who sat there beside me and slowly he started to cry
His big hands were calloused looked like a mountain
For a minute
I thought I was dead
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking
As 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 sad times and lived through some bad times
But this time your hurtin' won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
After he left us I ordered more whiskey she said let's go have a ball
From the lights of the barroom to a rented hotel room
We walked without talkin' at all
Lord, she was a beauty but when she came to me
She must've thought that I'd lost my mind
I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that he told her
Came back to me time after time
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With a four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some sad times lived through some bad times
This time your hurtin' won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
