Il testo della Lucille

In a bar in toledo across from the depot
On a bar stool 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 drinks finally hit her
She said i'm no quitter but i finally quit livin 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 be-side 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

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 lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting 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 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'd lost my mind
I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that told her
Kept coming back time after time

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 lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me lucille.
