Life is short In spite of your plans So, tell the girls they're pretty while you can One day they're gone And all you got left is Some empty bottles and an old country song That plays on and on I wasted my time with these cigarettes And these ashes all i've got left Wash this old town Nothings left for me Washed down stream into the sea This big ol' river will kill us in time 'til then we'll drink it's weight In cheap beer and wine We can drink just as fast as the river is strong And we'll drink 'til we're gone We'll drink 'til we're gone Life is short Inspite of your plans So, tell the girls they're pretty while you can One day they're gone And all you got left is s Ome empty bottles and an old country song This big ol' river will kill us in time 'til then we'll drink it's weight In cheap beer and wine We can drink just as fast as the river is strong And we'll drink 'til we're gone We'll drink 'til we're gone
2024 and I still remember sitting in that old Ford truck (Pinky), listening this song with Jay… fuck 💔 and it’s nights like these, my heart breaks all over again.
Now I've been roaming these city streets (?) Drive down once and you've seen everything Rivers wrapping up, the city's sitting down Well I'm just trying to get back to the other side of town Well I got a little girl, and she's waiting on me She says 'I'll see you when you get home' And now these working days are getting just a little too cold Well I can see her now, sitting at the kitchen table Record player playing for a rock and roll lady She says 'I'll see you when you get home' Now we ain't got much But these times amount to much (?) Tonight she's mine, tonight Tonight she's mine Went across another river just (?) With these empty city streets that we drive down Riding in the car, (?) Living in this city gonna be (?) Wading in the river, such a beautiful sound Now we ain't got much But these times amount to much (?) Tonight she's mine, tonight Tonight she's mine Cause tonight She's mine for the night Tonight she's mine Tonight she's mine Tonight she's mine Tonight she's mine Tonight she's mine Tonight she's mine Tonight she's mine Tonight she's mine
Saw these guys 22 years ago in a now defunct little pool hall called The Court Street Lounge in Tupelo, Ms. I was too young to get inside but was enjoying listening from the alley, and Lucero came out back and told the security we were with their road crew and let us in to the back of the stage to watch from inside. I'll remember that forever
I love the way your words help me remember who i used to be before I was so wrecked and lost. The sadness brings me back to the truth and what love should be . Wicked things haunt my dreams so when I wake up and miss people I listen to lucero
Early 30's now. Found you guy's through Props Road Fools and friends back when we were 16. Since first hearing you guys, we made every gathering with a speaker make sure your songs were playing loud. Just recently trying to reconnect with some of those friends after growing up some. Been so long since I listened to your songs because of how much it hurt to remember some of the best days of my life. Hope to see you guys this June!
