Lucille Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(Roger Bowling - Hal Bynum) 

One, two, three, four, 

In a barroom 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, her name. 

When the drinks fin'lly hit her she said I'm no quitter 

But I finally quit livin' on dreams 

Hungry for laughter and here ever after 

I'm after whatever the other life brings. 

In the mirror I saw him I closely watched him 

I saw the look in his eyes 

He came to the woman who sat there beside me 

And slowly started to cry.

His 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 

As he turned to the woman and said. 

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille 

With a four hungry children and a crop in the field 

I've had some sad times, lived through some bad 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 whiskey 

She said let's go have a ball 

From the lights of the barroom to a rented hotel room 

We walked without talkin' at all. 

Lord, she was a beauty but when she came to me 

She must've thought that I'd lost my mind 

I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her 

Came back to me time after time.

I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times 

But this time your hurtin' won't heal. 

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.
