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 what-ever 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 Lu-cille
  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 Lu-cille.
  
  After he left us I ordered more whisky I thought how she'd
  made him look small
  From the lights of the bar room to a rented ho-tel 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
  
  Chorus
