In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot, on a bar stool she took [F] off her ring. _
[Cm] Thought I'd get closer, [F] so I walked on over, [Cm] I sat [F] down and asked [Bb] her her name.
When the drinks finally hit her, she said I'm no quitter, but I finally quit [Eb] living on dreams.
[F] I'm hungry for laughter, and here ever after, I'm after whatever the other [Bb] life brings.
In the mirror I saw him, and I closely watched him, I thought how he looked out [F] of place.
_ [Cm] He came to the woman [F] who sat there beside me, [Cm] he had [F] a strange look on [Bb] his face.
_ The big hands were calloused, and looked like a mountain, for a minute I thought I [Eb] was dead.
_ [F] But he started shaking, his big heart was breaking, he turned to the woman [Bb] and said
You picked a fine time to leave me [Eb] Lucy, with four hungry children and a crop [Bb] in the field.
_ [Eb] I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times, but this time your [Bb] hurting won't heal.
You picked a [F] fine time to leave [Bb] me Lucy.
_ [C] _ _ _
After he left us, I ordered more whiskey, I thought how she'd made [G] him look small.
[Dm] From the lights [F] of the bar [G] room, to a rented hotel room, we [G] walked without [C] talking at all. _
She was a beauty, but when she came to me, she must have thought I'd [F] lost my mind. _
[G] I couldn't hold her, cause the words that he told her, kept coming back time [C] after time.
You picked a fine time to leave [F] me Lucy, with four hungry children and a crop in [C] the field.
[F] I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times, but this time your hurting [C] won't heal.
You [G] picked a fine time to leave me [C] Lucy.
