Lucille

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Lucille (Lucille), in the flickеring light With the moon on your shoulders of pearl-handlе white Lucille (Lucille), glad you're doing alright But I wonder who's keepin' the baby tonight [Verse 2] 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 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Get out of town, turn the radio down The window's wide open and you've got your hands on the wheel [Chorus] 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
