  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 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 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

  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 barroom 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 'cause the words that he told her 

  Kept coming back time after time
