Lucille Songtext
von Jan Keizer

In a bar in Toledo
Across from 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 sad I'm no quitter
But I finally quit livin′ 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
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman
Who sat there beside 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 shakin′
His big heart was breakin′
He turned to the woman and said

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With for hungry children
And a crop in the field
I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
But this time your hurtin′ won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

After he left us
I ordered more whisky
I thought how she′d made look him small
From the lights of the bar room
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 could′nt hold her
'Cos the words that he told her
Keep coming back time after time


You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
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 hurtin′ won′t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.
