By Kenny Rogers [3/4 time]
written by Roger Bowling and Hal Bynum
G
In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
D7
On a barstool she took off her ring
Am D7
I thought I’d get closer so I walked on over
Am D7 G
I sat down and asked her name
When the drink finally hit her she said I’m no quitter
G7 C
But I finally quit living on dreams
D7
I’m hungry for laughter and here ever after
G
I’m after whatever the other life brings
In the mirror I saw him I closely watch him
D7
I thought how he looked out of place
Am D7
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
Am D7 G
He had a strange look on his face
The big hands are callous he looked like a mountain
G7 C
For a minute I thought I was dead
D7
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking
G
He turned to the woman and said
chorus
C
You picked the fine time to leave me Lucille
G
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
C
I’ve had some bad time live through some sad times
G
But this time your hurting wouldn’t heal
D7 C
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
After he left us I ordered more whiskey
D7
I thought how he made him look small
Am D7
From lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room
G
We walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
G7 C
She must have thought I’d lost my mind
D7
I couldn’t hold her the words that he told her
G
Kept coming back time after time
repeat chorus
