Letra Lucille Turnpike Troubadours

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 remodeeled 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 in the flickering light
With the mooon on your should?rs of pearl-handle white
Lucill? 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 labour wage
I was checkin' in on a rumour from home
Oh I doubt that there's anything to it
And you're still just the same except from 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, in the flickering light
With the moon on your shoulders of pearl-handle white
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 hand on the wheel

Lucille, in the flickering light
The mooon on your shoulders of pearl-handle white
Lucille, glad you're doing alright
I wonder who's keepin' the baby tonight
