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

A
But this time your hurting wouldn’t heal
