1. Strophe:
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
2. Strophe:
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
Refrain:
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
3. Strophe:
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
(Refrain)
