In a bar in Toledo across 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 Chorus
