In a bar in Toleado 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 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 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 You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille With four hungry children And a crop in the fields. I've had some bad times Lived through some sad 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 I 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've had some bad times Lived through some sad times But this time your hurtin' won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
