Kenny Rogers - Lucille 1977 <br /> <br />In a bar in Toledo across from the depot <br />On a bar stool she took off her ring <br />I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over <br />I sat down and asked her name <br /> <br />When the drinks finally hit her <br />She said I'm no quitter but I finally quit livin on dreams <br />I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after <br />I'm after whatever the other life brings <br /> <br />In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him <br />I thought how he looked out of place <br />He came to the woman who sat there be-side me <br />He had a strange look on his face <br /> <br />The big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain <br />For a minute I thought I was dead <br />But he started shaking his big heart was breaking <br />He turned to the woman and said <br /> <br />You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille <br />With four hungry children and a crop in the field <br />I've had some bad times lived through some sad times <br />But this time your hurting won't heal <br />You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille. <br /> <br />After he left us I ordered more whisky <br />I thought how she'd made him look small <br />From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room <br />We walked without talking at all <br /> <br />She was a beauty but when she came to me <br />She must have thought I'd lost my mind <br />I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that told her <br />Kept coming back time after time <br /> <br />You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille <br />With four hungry children and a crop in the field <br />I've had some bad times lived through some sad times <br />But this time your hurting won't heal <br />You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille. <br /> <br />You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille <br />With four hungry children and a crop in the field <br />I've had some bad times lived through some sad times
