Testo Lucille - Billy Joe Royal
Testo della canzone Lucille (Billy Joe Royal), tratta dall'album Country Masters: Makin' Believe
In a bar 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 finally hit her, she said "I'm no quitter
But I finally quit living on dreams
I'm hungry for laughter, and here ever after
I'm after whatever 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 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 shaking, his big heart was breaking
He turned to the woman and said
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
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, Lucille"
After he left us, I ordered more whiskey
I thought how she made him look small
From the lights of the barroom to a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at all
She was a beauty, but when she came to me
She must've thought I'd lost my mind
I couldn't hold her, the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
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, Lucille"
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
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, Lucille"
