Story Behind The Song
a 'sac' add for a co-writer enabled Kris and Peter to work together from afar to develop
"lucille". Original lyrics for "lucille" were submitted to a lyric contest, but these were re-defined and "stroke lucille" was the end result.

Lyrics
"STROKE LUCILLE"
V 1
She?s my midnight beauty one sexy girl,
All ebony graced in gold & pearl.
She can make me cry, She can make me sing,
But when She?s in my arms I am the king!
V 2
My heart?s gone walkin' with lots of girls,
But only one lady takes me round the world.
From the honky tonks to the one night stands,
I know that I only wanna be her man, 'cause...
Ch 1
She?s got the look, She?s got the feel,
To take my dreams & make 'em real.
Laid in my arms,... ain't no repeal...
I can?t help my self, I gotta, stroke Lucille
V 3
She?s soft & secret, sweet & blue,
She let?s my soul come singing through.
When we?re makin' magic I can feel the power,
To take me on through past the witchin' hour, 'cause...
Ch 2
*repeat Ch 1
Bridge
A hotspot fire, was twistin' high,
& my baby was trapped inside,
I couldn?t run when She called my name,
ole riley turned & walked back into those flames !
Ch 3
*repeat Ch 1
