lucille capo i Intro : A A in a bar in toledo , across from the depot , E on a barstool she took off her ring . i thought i’d get closer , so i walked on over . A i sat down and asked her her name . when the drinks finally hit her , she said , im no quitter D but i finally quit living on dreams . E i’m hungry for laughter , and here ever after A 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 ) D "you picked a fine time to leave me , lucille A with four hungry children and a crop in the field . D i’ve had some bad times , i’ve lived through some sad times , A but this time the hurtin’ won’t heal . E A - - - - - - - - - > B you picked a fine time to leave me , lucille .
