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