I found 8 other posts here about the Kenny Rogers song Lucille, but I didn't see any that misunderstood it like I did:
"You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel. Four hundred children and a crop in the field." instead of "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille. Four hungry children and a crop in the field."
I thought this was about a guy mad at his truck when the wheel fell off the piece of junk, and he needed it for harvest. Plus, he had a bunch of kids to care for.
