A
In a bar in Toledo across from the depot 
E
On a barstool she took off her ring 
Bm  E
I thought I’d get closer  so I walked on over 
Am  E  A
I sat down and asked her name 
  
A
When the drink finally hit her she said I’m no quitter 
A7  D
But I finally quit living on dreams 
E 
I’m hungry for laughter and here ever after 
A
I’m after whatever the other life brings 
 
A 
In the mirror I saw him I closely watch him 
E
I thought how he looked out of place 
Bm  E
He came to the woman who sat there beside me 
Bm  E  A
He had a strange look on his face 
  
A
The big hands where calloused  he looked like a mountain 
A7  D
For a minute I thought I was dead 
E
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking 
A
He turned to the woman and said 
 
A  D 
You picked the fine time to leave me Lucille 
A
Four hungry children and a crop in the field 
D
I’ve had some bad time live through some sad times 
A
But this time your hurting wouldn’t heal 
E  D
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille 
  
 A 
After he left us I ordered more whiskey 
E
I thought how he made him look small 
Bm  E
From lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room 
Bm  E  G
We walked without talking at all 
  
 A
She was a beauty but when she came to me 
A7  D
She must have thought I’d lost my mind 
E  
I couldn’t hold her the words that he told her 
A
Kept coming back time after time 
 
A  D 
You picked the fine time to leave me Lucille 
A
Four hungry children and a crop in the field 
D
I’ve had some bad time live through some sad times 
A
But this time your hurting wouldn’t heal 
E  D
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
