Kenny Rogers – Lucille: Lyrics and Music Video

Lucille Lyrics

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 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 shakin’
His big heart was breakin’
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 hurtin’ won’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me lucille

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 hotel room
We walked without talkin’ at all
She was a beauty
But when she came to me

She must have thought i’d lost my mind
I could’nt hold her
‘cos the words that he 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 hurtin’ won’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me lucille
