in a bar in toledo across from the people 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
in the mirror i saw him and i closely watched him
i thought
i
i
he looked out of place
he came to the room and 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 pillow and said you'd beg to find time to leave me lucy
with four hungry children and a crop in the field
i've had some bad times lived through some sad times but this time you're hurting won't heal
you beg to find time to leave me
lucy
after he left us i ordered more whiskey i thought how she 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 but when she came to me
she was a beauty but when she came to me she was a beauty but when she came to me she was a beauty
she must have thought i'd lost my mind
i couldn't hold her because the words that he told her kept coming back time after time
you beg to find time to leave me lucy
with four hungry children and a crop in the field
i've had some bad times lived through some sad times but this time you're hurting won't heal

Some sad times
This time you heard
You won't hear
