1) Lucero is an American country-punk rock band that is based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Since 2001, they have played between 150 and 200 shows a year across the United States and Canada. They have released eight full-length albums, the latest entitled Women & Work.
The members of Lucero are Roy Berry (drums), John C. Stubblefield (bass), Brian Venable (guitar), and Ben Nichols (guitar and vocals), and occasionally Rick Steff (piano, organ, accordion). Todd Gill substituted for Brian Venable from 2003 to 2004. The band also experimented with guitarist Steve Selvidge in the early months of 2003. Ben Nichols' previous band was Red 40 in which he played alongside Colin Brooks and Steve Kooms.
In late 2008 the band announced they had signed a four album deal with Universal Music Group. Their album, 1372 Overton Park, was released October 6, 2009.
The Last Pale Light in the West, the first solo release from frontman Ben Nichols, was released in January 2009 on the band's own label Liberty & Lament. The 7 song record was inspired by Cormac McCarthy's book Blood Meridian.

Lucero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to find her
I lost my heart under the neon lights
At the Starlite Diner
She used to sit across the table
Smoking her cigarettes
Well that was then
I see her eyes I see her smile
I hear her laugh
Memories too close to home for something
That's never coming back
I lost my heart by those neon lights
At the Starlite Diner one November night
I thought I could make it but now
I see that I might die
All alone, my heart gone, here at the Starlite
Jukebox don't know it's the graveyard shift
It shakes rattles and rolls
Since the night that I lost my heart
The sad songs are all I know
Waitress brings me a coke
Calls me darlin
I think about my girl
Drinking coffee smoking her Camel wides
She was the sweetest thing in the world
I lost my heart by those neon lights
At the Starlite Diner one November night
I thought I could make it but now
I see that I might die
All alone, my heart gone, here at the Starlite
I lost my heart by those neon lights
At the Starlite Diner one November night
I thought I could make it but now
I see that I might die
All alone, my heart gone, here at the Starlite

To this day when I play this it reminds me on how my life is just one big country song, here i am with my Marlboro reds, whiskey, sitting in my wheelchair with this broken heart… I gotta say my favorite albums, thank you for this masterpiece
Randy Lee
That guitar solo tho... has to be one of my favorites of all time, goes with the song perfectly. Just like the kind of breakup the song is talking about, you go from kinda sad and somber and you can feel the anger and adrenaline start to build then you go all out. Fn love it

I cant quit you...I wont even try. Shred my soul with your raw tones....so mournful...so true.
Take me to my limit and home again. Each time I come back....you're my best friend.
