Lucille — текст песни (Kenny Rogers)

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 what-ever 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 be-side 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 Lu-cille
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 Lu-cille.

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 ho-tel 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 `cos the words that told her kept
coming back time after time

Chorus
