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 Her Name.
When The Drinks 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,
And I Closely Watched Him.
I Thought How He Looked Out Of Place.
He Came To The Woman
Who Sat There Beside Me.
He Had A Strange Look On His Face.
The Big Hands Were Calloused,
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 A Fine Time To Leave Me, Lucille
With Four Hungry Children And A Crop In The Field.
I've Had Some Bad Times,
I've Lived Through Some Sad Times,
But This Time The Hurtin' Won't Heal.
You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me, Lucille.

After He Left Us, I Ordered More Whiskey.
I Thought How She'd Made Him Look Small.
From The Lights Of The Barroom To The Rented Hotel Room
We Walked Without Talking At All.
She Was A Beauty, But When She Came To Me
She Must Have Thought I'd Lost My Mind.
I Couldn't Hold Her, For The Words That He Told Her
Kept Comin' Back Time After Time.

[Chorus]
"You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me, Lucille
With Four Hungry Children And A Crop In The Field.
I've Had Some Bad Times,
I've Lived Through Some Sad Times,
But This Time The Hurtin' Won't Heal.
You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me, Lucille.

[Chorus]
"You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me, Lucille
With Four Hungry Children And A Crop In The Field.
I've Had Some Bad Times,
I've Lived Through Some Sad Times,
But This Time The Hurtin' Won't Heal.
You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me, Lucille.
