Lucille

Lucille - Hit Crew Masters

One two three four

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

I closely watched him

I thought it's them

He came to the woman

Who sat there be-side me

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

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 ordered more whiskey

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 to me 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.
