Lucille

Well, the neons were new and robin egg blue And brandin' iron red, they had nothin' on you And the nights were alive in a remodeled dive Sometimes you'd take me home with you And it was later that spring, saw the spark from a ring I never protested, just gathered my things And I settled my rent and onward I went Oh, lonesome feels better in motion Lucille (Lucille) in the flickering light With the moon on your shoulders of pearl-handle white Lucille (Lucille) glad you're doing alright But I wonder who's keepin' the baby tonight Well, I'd walked off the stage to a old dog-eared page Finally worth more than a day labor wage I was checkin' in on a rumor from home Oh, I doubt that there's anything to it And you're still just the same, except for your name I lost all my half-hearted fortune and fame Each night I would find, as if by design Your bonfire that burned in the back of my mind Lucille (Lucille) in the flickering light The moon on your shoulders of pearl-handle white Lucille (Lucille) glad you're doing alright I wonder who's keepin' the baby tonight Get out of town, turn the radio down The window's wide open and you've got your hands on the wheel Lucille (Lucille) in the flickering light The moon on your shoulders of pearl-handle white Lucille (Lucille) glad you're doing alright I wonder who's keepin' the baby tonight
