Lucille

Lucille - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·羅傑斯)

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 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 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 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 whiskey

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

She was a beauty but when she came to me

She must have thought I'd lost my mind

I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that 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 hurting won't heal

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

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
