daniel odonnell – lucille lyrics
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 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
his big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain
for a minute i thought i was dead
but he started shakin’, his big heart was breakin’
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 hurtin’ 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 talkin’ 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 ’cause the words that he told her
kept comin’ 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
you picked a fine time to leave me, lucille
