Lucille
(Indisponível)
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 what-ever 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 Lu-cille
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 Lu-cille.
After he left us I ordered more whisky I thought how she'd
made him look small
From the lights of the bar room to a rented ho-tel 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
