1) Lucero is an American country-punk rock band that is based in Memphis, Tennessee. Their punk rock roots flavour their now "country-ish" music, while their Southern roots give them the twang that they have come to be known by. The band played for the first time in early 1998. 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.

When You're Gone
Lucero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said I'll be fine by myself
I thought that she wanted me
But she was thinking something else
Now the sun was coming up
Still I couldn't see exactly how she felt
I thought that she wanted me
It don't take much to see inside my heart
I was never any good at telling lies
And it don't take too much to see there ain't too much of me
Here behind these eyes
I miss you when you're gone
Please don't stay gone too long
I miss you when you're gone
Please don't stay gone too long
She said she was going home
I said I'll be fine by myself
'Cause I thought that she wanted me
But she was thinking something else
It don't take much to see inside my heart
I was never any good at telling lies
And it don't take too much to see there ain't too much of me
Here behind these eyes
I miss you when you're gone
Please don't stay gone too long
I miss you when you're gone
Please don't stay gone too long
I miss you when you're gone
The lyrics of Lucero's song "When You're Gone" are a testament to the confusion that can arise when two people are not on the same page emotionally. The singer in the song believed that his partner wanted to be with him, but in reality, she had other plans. The opening lines, "She said she was going home / I said I'll be fine by myself" set the scene for the heartbreak that is to come. The lyric 'I thought that she wanted me / But she was thinking something else' amplifies the confusion that can arise between two people. The singer is left feeling uncertain and lost, and the sun rising without clarity on his emotions adds further despair to the situation. The chorus of the song, "I miss you when you're gone / Please don't stay gone too long," serves as a plea to his lover to return to him, a longing that resonates throughout the song.
The verse, "It don't take much to see inside my heart / I was never any good at telling lies / And it don't take too much to see there ain't too much of me / Here behind these eyes," highlights the vulnerability of the singer, who is not good at hiding his emotions. He is baring his heart and soul, exposing himself to heartbreak in every sense of the word. As he says, there isn't too much of him hidden, which is a telling revelation. The singer is asking his partner not to stay gone too long, showcasing his need for companionship and love. The song is a portrayal of a relationship that is not quite in sync, one in which the singer is seeking something deeper and more meaningful than his partner is willing to give.

She said she was going home
She declared that she was returning to her residence
I said I'll be fine by myself
I assured her that I would be okay alone
I thought that she wanted me
I assumed that she desired me
But she was thinking something else
But she had other thoughts in mind
Now the sun was coming up
The morning was approaching
Still I couldn't see exactly how she felt
However, I was uncertain about her emotions
It don't take much to see inside my heart
It is not difficult to perceive my true feelings
I was never any good at telling lies
I have never been skilled at deceiving people
And it don't take too much to see there ain't too much of me
It is obvious that there is not much substance to me
Here behind these eyes
Behind my eyes, within me
I miss you when you're gone
I long for you when you are not here
Please don't stay gone too long
I implore you not to be away for an extended period
I miss you when you're gone

She says she was going home
I said 'I'll be fine by myself'
And I thought that she wanted me
But she was thinking something else
Now the sun was coming up
But still I couldn't see exactly how she felt
Well I thought that she wanted me
But she was thinking something else
And now it don't take much to see inside my heart
I was never any good at telling lies
And it don't take too much to see there ain't too much to me
Here behind these eyes
I miss you when you're gone
Please don't stay gone too long
I miss you when you're gone please don't stay gone

"For every Southern boy fourteen years old, not once but whenever he wants it, there is the instant when it's still not yet two o'clock on that July afternoon in 1863, the brigades are in position behind the rail fence, the guns are laid and ready in the woods and the furled flags are already loosened to break out.."
