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