G In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot D On a barstool she took off her ring D7 I thought I'd get closer C So I walked on over C G I sat down and asked her her name G When the drinks finally hit her G She said, "I'm no quitter G C But I finally quit living on dreams D7 I'm hungry for laughter And here ever after G I'm after whatever the other life brings." G In the mirror I saw him And I closely watched him D I thought how he looked out of place D7 He came to the woman C Who sat there beside me G He had a strange look on his face The big hands were calloused He looks like a mountain C For a minute I thought I was dead D But he started shaking His big heart was breaking G He turned to the woman and said C "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille G With four hungry children and crops in the field C And I've had some bad times And lived through some sad times G But this time the hurtin' won't heal D7 G You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille G After he left us, I ordered more whiskey D I thought how she'd made him look small D7 C From the lights of the barroom to a rented hotel room G We walked without talking at all Now she was a beauty, but when she came to me D She must have thought I'd lost my mind D7 Cause I couldn't hold her, the words that he told her G Kept comin' back time after time C "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille G With four hungry children and crops in the field C I've had some bad times Lived through some sad times G But this time the hurtin' won't heal D7 G You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille D7 G Oh, you picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille"
