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.

Yo No Te Perdí
Lucero Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo no te perdí
Porque vas a volver
Después de darte cuenta
Que lo que aquí has dejado
Es lo que te conviene

Te vas a arrepentir
Por dejarme sin ti

Adónde vas buscando
Lo que de sobra sabes
Que lo tenías en mí

Yo no te perdí
No lo pienses así
Estás equivocado
Un peso me has quitado
Al marcharte de aquí

Yo no te perdí
Tú me has perdido a mí
Porque yo en tu lugar
No hubiera renunciado
Al amor que te di

Yo no te perdí
Tú me has perdido a mí
Porque ya has demostrado

Que poco te ha importado
Lo que sentía por ti
