Lucile Songtext
von Matt Hurter

In a bar in Toledo
Across from the depot
On a barstool she took off her ring
I thought I′d get closer
So I walked on over
I sat down and asked her her name
When the drinks finally hit her
She said, "I'm no quitter
But I finally quit living on dreams
I′m hungry for laughter
And here ever after
I'm after whatever the other life brings"
In the mirror I saw him
And I closely watched him
And I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman and sat down beside her
He had a strange look on his face
His 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
And he turned to the woman and said
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times
I′ve been through some sad times
But this time your hurting won′t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille"
After he left us
I ordered more whiskey
And I thought how she'd made him look small
From the lights of the barroom
To a rented hotel 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
′Cause the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times
Been through some sad times
But this time your hurting won′t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille"
