LUCILLE - KENNY ROGERS
-

Intro -
In a bar in toledo across from the depot
On a barstool she took off her ring
I thought Id get closer So I walked on over
I sat down and asked her name
When the drink finally hit her She said Im no quitter
But I finally quit living on dreams
Im hungry for laughter And here ever after
Im 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
He turned to the woman and said

-

CHORUS: You picked the fine time to leave me, lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
Ive had some bad times
Live thru some sad times
But this time your hurtin wouldnt heal
-

 KEY CHANGE
-
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 couldnt hold her, the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time.
+CHORUS
