[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
