[00:10.96]In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot,
[00:15.83]On a barstool she took off her ring.
[00:20.94]I thought I'd get closer
[00:23.50]So I walked on over,
[00:26.12]I sat down and asked her her name.
[00:30.24]When the drinks finally hit her,
[00:33.74]She said, "I’m no quitter,
[00:36.36]But I finally quit living on dreams.
[00:40.98]I'm hungry for laughter,
[00:44.16]And here ever after
[00:46.65]I'm after whatever the other life brings."
[00:52.83]In the mirror I saw him,
[00:55.83]And I closely watched him.
[00:58.26]I thought how he looked out of place.
[01:03.50]He came to the woman
[01:06.12]Who sat there beside me.
[01:08.49]And had a strange look on his face.
[01:13.86]The big hands were calloused,
[01:16.36]He looked like a mountain,
[01:18.67]For a minute I thought I was dead.
[01:24.09]But he started shaking,
[01:26.84]His big heart was breaking,
[01:29.15]He turned to the woman and said,
[01:33.95]"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
[01:39.51]With four hungry children and a crop in the field.
[01:45.94]I've had some bad times,
[01:48.62]Lived through some sad times,
[01:50.99]But this time your hurtin' won't heal.
[01:55.73]You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille."
[02:03.97]After he left us, I ordered more whiskey,
[02:09.02]I thought how she'd made him look small.
[02:13.89]From the lights of the barroom to the rented hotel room
[02:19.32]We walked without talking at all.
[02:24.50]She was a beauty, but when she came to me
[02:29.49]She must have thought I'd lost my mind.
[02:34.80]I couldn't hold her, cause the words that he told her
[02:39.62]Kept comin' back time after time.
[02:44.80]"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
[02:50.29]With four hungry children and a crop in the field.
[02:56.65]I've had some bad times,
[02:59.21]Lived through some sad times,
[03:01.58]But this time your hurtin' won't heal.
[03:06.51]You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille."
[03:11.56]"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
[03:17.25]With four hungry children and a crop in the field.
[03:23.61]I've had some bad times,
[03:25.92]Lived through some sad times,
[03:28.60]But this time your hurtin' won't heal.
[03:33.53]You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille."
