Daytime Friends - The Very Best of Kenny Rogers

In a bar in Toledo
across from the depot
on a bar stool 
she took of her ring.


I thought i´d get closer
so i walked down over
and 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 laught´er 
and here ever after
I´m after whatever
the other life brings.


In a mirror i saw him 
and i closely watched him
i thought how he look
out of place.
He came to the woman
and sat there beside me
he had a strange look
on his face.


The big hand was 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
with four hungry children 
and a crop in the field.
I´ve had some bad times
lived trough 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 whisky
i thought how she´d 
made him look small.
From the lights of the bar room
to a rented hotel room
we walked without 
talking at all.


She was a beauty 
when she came to me
she must have thought
i´d lost my mind
I couldn´t hold her
cause the worlds that
he told her.
Kept comming back
time after time.


You picked a fine time
to leave me,Lucille.
With four hungry children
and crop in the field.
I´ve had some bad times
lived trough 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
with four hungry children
and crop in the field
i´ve had some bad times
lived trough....
