Lucille
(专辑: Doin' Somethin' Right - 2005)
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 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." 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 shaking, His big heart was breaking, He turned to the
woman and said, [Chorus] "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, I've lived through some sad times, But this time the
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 the
rented hotel 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
couldn't hold her, for the
words that he told her Kept coming back time after time. [Chorus] "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, I've lived through some sad times, But this time the
hurting won't heal. You picked a
fine time to leave me, Lucille. [Chorus] "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, I've lived through some sad times, But this time the
hurting won't heal. You picked a
fine time to leave me, Lucille.
