Lucero - It Gets The Worst At Night Lyrics
It gets the worst at night
With nothing on my mind
But you
I'm thinking too damn much
I go ahead and get up
So I can drive as far as I can get from you
On my way out of town
I drive by your house
Two times
It don't do me no good
I didn't think that it would
'cause you're not mine
You might have seen me but I kept on driving by
Gonna lose myself on some dark road tonight
Just laying down and taking all that pain
I'd rather drive all night, if it's all the same
'cause half a tank of gas will get me far enough
To be completely lost by the time the sun comes up
And so it's four a.m.
I'm on the road again
To find some peace
Some old gravel road
There's nothing for me
And there ain't nothing left for me in Tennessee
Because I know you're not awake thinking of me
And there's something 'bout
Just laying down and taking all that pain
I'd rather drive all night if it's all the same
'cause half a tank of gas will get me far enough
To be completely lost by the time the sun comes up
And there ain't nothing left for me in Tennessee
'cause I know you're not awake thinking of me

Lucero It Gets The Worst At Night Comments
Shit..that's my youth dude
But I expected an amazing arc that didn't happen. Great song, because lyrics are relatable. The music is relaxing. Instrumentation? Nice steel in background. Not over bearing. It's just there...reminding us
For me personally? I always drove mustangs back then. So I was expecting that heavy shifting to insane speed. Like i achieved in my old bullitt. Where and when I just screamed
Your compsotion isn't about screaming in insanity for a resolution. It's a resolution in lulaby.
Very cool.
Meh... hate these lyrics so real to me...
And that it does... It gets worse at night.
Just a 100% solid band
Dude sounds like Kurt Cobain
It brings us back to that age old question of "Why do melancholy songs make us feel so damn good"
I miss her so fucking much
Why do I feel this song in my soul right now....
Sounds like something I was listening to in 1994. I like that.
I love 💕 this song🐬🐳🐬
1 year. Passing of my dad
Dam this song gets me this is what I'm going through now I don't know what sleep is I'm up all night just thinking about her man I was thinking she was going to be my forever but they day she told me she found someone else is the day my life just stopped all I can do is work in the day and drink my nights away and I still love her
Love it🍻 my new jam!
2020 it still goes
It does :(
I always to think it was about a ex girlfriend but my mother just had a stroke an is having surgery for brain bleeding and we won't know if she'll make it till couple hrs and this song hit me. Thank you Lucero never stops to amaze me
Alsome song zoo love thia song...
I found music that dont rattle my brain that's already broken down. Sip my beer n enjoy the progress
AMAZING...
Great song. Great band
2019 and Lucero hits harder now than ever. I miss You
💜💜💜
A buddy of mine turned me on to this band....I also play guitar ....not well .....I suck.....but since I have listened to this hidden gem of a band ...ben has truly inspired me .....yup I have gotten a fuck better.....starlight garden fucking sick
Never thought I could relate to a song so much
I need hug
Hmm. Guy needs a new day job. His voice sux
You need a new brain...and better taste in music
You need a new brain and better taste in music... moron
There is a brain hospital in arkansas I highly recommend. Called GET A BRAIN
Oh, hi fellow sad folks. Room for one more?
if you're feeling happy or sad or depressed or excited, lucero fits it all.
Lucero is the most underrated band around lately. Like how are these guys not famous? They literally sound like the bottom of your whiskey glass.
Todd Stinnett69
I've known people with the burden of alcoholism. I don't have this. Something about this music though makes me want to grab the whiskey bottle and hit it...as I have done to Lucero numerous times.
Trina Webb you fload my memory but when this plays it's like your sitting next to me again
his voice gets old :(
If that ain't God damn country you can kiss my ass
Reminds me of her so bad
Trina Webb deff for you
I realized it was 2019 and I needed to lace up my boots n get ready for the next life
If you guys like lucero you should check out dana twigg @ bandcamp he was my supervisor when I was younger and got me into lucero. And obviously is very inspired by them and mewithoutyou
Headed into 2nd divorce...listen to this many many times...time for me to hit the road again.
Great song,music,vocals !
I saw them in Columbia, MO., at a small bar in an outdoor venue. Ben was walking around through the crowd before the concert talking to everyone, I got a chance to meet him, really cool guy, definitely loves his fans. I don't know who broke his heart, but she sure left him with some good material for songs.
You DAMN SURE uploaded the Right One. Hey Thx!
Damn....
My best friend showed me lucero when I took lsd with him for the first time. He was really going through a rough time in his life. He was 21 when he was driving under the influence and wrecked and killed someone. He cried in my arms that night and I had no idea what to do but hug him. He is doing time in prison now. I feel like I helped him so much with life, cuz he said the lsd was life changing for him. We just sat and talked all night and he showed me all kinds of great music.
I can’t tell if he’s saying lsd or Isd.
Edit: Lsd or isd
Good luck.
I just graduated from Navy boot camp yesterday and this hits home. Let me tell ya. Being on liberty and then watching them leave, is like someone stabbing you in the heart over and over again very slowly. Sucks
Something about laying down and taking all that pain....I think I will take it all in tonight. In the quiet , alone where you can unravel. Sometimes it’s necessary to feel loss, Then move on once again .
Amaizing how a song can nail exactly how you feel.
See, this is why I quit dating and the whole thing like 20 years ago. I'm content.
same ramble on
Goosebumps, a cigarette, my porch, my thoughts....care to join?
I'd love 2
Doing the same 😎👌cheers man
Some bushmills a fire, no hate or judgment.
I'm there dude
Amazing thing. I miss fire talks. Where we just...existed
Nor you personally. Don't know you. I just miss those days is all.
Maybe he wants to talk a out the good times...and then one day we wake up to our living nightmare?
We see wwp on tv..and our brothers we most contact with. And now we know why
Or maybe he just wishes we could all be..what we once were?
Ain't much to discuss outside of those terms really. Maybe shenanigans?
I miss shenanigans. But they don't work anymore
Sorry dudes..some of us are just to damn old and cynical. We still enjoy a good shot..a good smoke... and glasses no one drinks from.
We just...are. Maybe that's all he is saying. maybe that's what the tune is saying?
Maybe..that's the exact discussion?
Who knows. His thought is the difference though. Uncommon, commanilty
Something I know I miss in life
This song is making me feel like I’m in the fucking Truman Show
My daughter was killed 4 years ago on the 27th of April. All their songs somehow fit my mood at the time. We've seen him a boatload of times and I'm never let down
I feel for you bud. I bet she was the most beautiful girl in the world to you. All daughters are. Love to you.
Sorry man
So sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter.
I m sorry Toni for your loss man . I’m glad that this helps you .
@Nate Ramirez :(
I am so...no words or phrases exist
Just so sorry. Keep on keeping on. In her memory
I love all of their songs. I feel this... just had a horrible break up... but I'm better off with out the extra baggage of stress.
Why have i not heard this before now...❤
I can do without almost anything in life; but life without music would not be worth living.
Lucero's music embodies a plain spoken nobility; that the anguish and heartaches of simple people is as poignant as those of the well to do - perhaps even more so. They - we- have less to start with and have to struggle for everything, making each loss a little more terrible.
Love this song
Half a tank of gas will get me far enough to be completely lost by the time the sun comes up
Mama by Lucero, How can I describe how this song affects me? So very Deeply. My oldest son chose this song for our mother/son dance at his wedding. I bawled while dancing with him through the entire dance, my other two sons were there in witness and felt it also. I had never heard it before, and absolutely it brings me to tears and renders my heart now when I hear it. Thank you!
Lucero is music for all people. everyone can relate to every song or reference a time in their lives when they could.
Jennifer Armagost not a lot of people take the time to really listen tho , everyone is moving to fast and missing the good things .
Man, losing the love of my life while growing up in Tennessee then moving after really makes that last verse stick me in the heart... " There ain't nothing left for me in Tennessee"
Damn just told me life story. Good shit
Ben Nichols writes the best song about heartache.
Fuck. Yes.
I'm falling HARD for this band! LOVE their sound and lyrics.
Almsot look forward to drunken night listening to him after a hard day
yo this is my last name
It sure is bud, it sure is
Love it
love lucero so much...
"It gets the worst at night,
with nothing on my mind,
but you.
I'm thinking too damn much...
I go ahead and get up,
and put on my boots;
so I can drive, as far as I can get, from you."
ben nichols you bad man stop telling everyone how i feel about her
saame bro
Jinx “omg” Wow , 😎
ben saved my life
he always knew my ex-wife, way more before i knew her :)
Amy Grindhouse that's deep bro. I dig.

lemonade cup you still alive?
I love you .
It’ll be ok man. Well... maybe... Either way I feel your pain. Good luck. Hope you didn’t kill your self.
Lemonade cup because there’s someone who feels your pain. Hope you can contact me
Said that to myself everyday for many years but not anymore. It will pass stay strong.
wow , this guy is good.....damn good.
xerakis i know this was a year ago but if you ever need someone to talk to im here
this band is the definition of a "Diein Breed" takin it all.
Driving on a gravel road right now and wondering if I should turn around or keep on going on.
touch the fucking sea bro
the bitter makes the sweet that much sweeter
I love this.
"there ain't nothin left for me in tennessee cause I know you're not awake thinkin of me"
this song has always hit home
Yeah man.....
It speaks......
There's something about just layin down and takin all that pain.
I'd rather drive all nite, if it's all the same...
I went to college in a small town in Virginia and while I was there I lost this beautiful gal to another guy. I used to drive in circles around that tiny town, heartbroken, with nowhere to go, just trying to make sense of it all. Then go back to my dorm and drink it off. The whole time listening to Lucero. Great band. It doesn't go away but it does get better.
Goin thru it now friend
It wilm get better in time...you will never for get but got to keep your head up and going
My gypsy self is in Virginia. Roll with the damned..
Eventually you will not feel the heartbreak anymore, but simply the memory of it. When you have reached this point then you will be able to look back on your relationship with this girl and really appreciate the time spent together. Be easy friend.
1:11 a.m. sitting here in Virginia at the house surrounded by guitars.. think I may play after this song.
23 people accidentally clicked the dislike button
yea idk what's wrong with some people... I'm just thankful my now ex showed me this band.
Probably a bunch of scorned exes...or, no, not interested(s).
Nick Sullivan wouldn't know good music if it hit them in the face . LUCERO !

Lucero always knows how to capture exactly what I'm feeling when I need it. I'm afraid of what I'd do without these dudes.
Over and over Lucero proves they are the best at what they do.......rip out your heart and make you look at it, then put it back in and carry on.
This lyrics to this song went deep in my brain and made me realize that marriage is not for me. Relationships are confusing enough, add one partner that does not understand how it works and there is misery for both partners x4.
great description.
@Terena Ward :(
Sorry dudette. Hope all worked out as best it could. I raise my three kids alone. We understand.
I've done the same
One of the most perfect drinking songs of all time.
The best is "drink till were gone"....
I’ll drink to that
"Drink till were gone" "My best girl" and "Moonshiner" by uncle tupelo, if u havent listen to moonshiner. Listen to it. Cause the whole worlds a bottle, when the bottle is empty. Lord it sure aint worth a damn
Every Lucero song is a drinking song lol.
thinking too damn much...
Love it !!
Fantastic song to go with a fantastic fifth of jack
Heard these guys in Vintage Stock! Love em.
Nothing like Getting in your car and just driving and cranking up some Lucero to put all your worries behind you
Just love this band and their sound. So real, so heart felt, so Damn relative to what I'm going through.
Sitting here drinking bourbon, relaxing on a Friday night and forgetting my own personal issues. Thank you lucero.
14 people don't deserve oxygen.
We're up to 16 now...
@Kelley Calhoun Up to 23 even now...
+Brian C. Crap, 26 now
+Vanilla-Flavored Doge It's literally unbelievable to me.
Songs like these make the comments section worth reading. I guess misery loves company, just amazing that a song can mean so much to so many people.
what you said!
Lol true
Jeez. Read that comment gave me chills when i read "i guess misery loves company"
Right here Mikey
I hate when I google songs that say exactly how I feel. 3 Can't stop crying.
Agreed....Do it all the time.
+Mia Gapasin Josh Ritter - Hopeful
Just wow. I live in Chicago and I love Tennessee; lost my girl of 3 years because of this kinda stuff and not knowin' what I want in life. She's couple years older than me n damn right Lucero, in my hometown; I can drive on some gravel road n just...move. This song is gettin me through a lot; I really appreciate it, sincerely.
I wish all of you well on your journey,
Perfect song for what im goin thru right now. I love that i relate to this
Tara Murphy right there with ya..
please tell me what happend to you
I want to die one day satisfactorily wallowing in pain while listening to Lucero.
I hope that doesn't happen. I sincerely hope you die happy. Honestly.
@nickbagelboy This comment made me proud to be a Lucero fan.
@Jesse Watkins
That comment had nothing to do with being a Lucero fan my friend. That's just being a human being :)
+nickbagelboy, you're a rare bird, my friend! So hard to find humans that act humanely. I'm with you, I hope we can all find a little inner peace, so hard with so much negativity.
...or the moment You never had her.
only bad thing about a six string is u can only finger fuck it, all ya need tho
Who says?
