 Kenny Rogers - Lucille Lyrics

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 name
When the drink 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
I closely watch him
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman
Who sat their beside me
He had a strange look on his face
The big hands are callous
He looked like a mountain
For a minute i thought i was dead
But he started shaking
His big heart was breaking
l7h22165 1723510khh4b
He turned to the woman and said

You picked the fine time to leave me, lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad time
Live thru' some sad times
But this time your hurtin wouldn't heal

After he left us, i ordered more whiskey
I thought how he made him look small
From 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 lost my mind
I couldn't hold her, the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time.

You picked the fine time to leave me, lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad time
Live thru' some sad times
But this time your hurtin wouldn't heal

You picked the fine time to leave me, lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad time
Live thru' some sad times
But this time your hurtin wouldn't heal
