Matt Bradley's got the broken teeth
He wears a jean jacket with a bullet in the sleeve
He's just another Southern boy who dreams of nights in NYC
And I sing along
I sing along

My tears don't matter much,
They don't matter much (x2)

Doug Deluca's voice could break a heart
I recorded every song
I used up three whole tapes, and put 'em in a box
To give away
To break a heart

My tears don't matter much,
They don't matter much (x2)

When the boys sing their songs
And the kids they sing along...
I'm just another Southern boy who dreams of nights in NYC
And I sing along
I sing along

Cory Branan's got an evil streak
And a way with words that'll bring you to your knees
Oh he can play the wildest shows and he can sing so sweet

I still sing along

My tears don't matter much,
They don't matter much (x2)

When the boys sing their songs
And the kids they sing along...
I'm just another Southern boy who dreams of nights in NYC
And I sing along
I still sing along

My tears don't matter much,
They don't matter much (x6)

    General Comment:This song is about Ben Nichols and the expeurences that he has had listening to and recording with other young Nashville musicians and no matter what he thinks about them as artists watching them makes him feel like a kid again. Someone with dreams and ambitions of the big city and the rockstar life. This is such a fantastic song its not even funny. And I too would consider Lucero my favorite band and also listen to the likes of !hisketown Clem Snide Murder By Death, Wilco, Magnolia Electric Co, My Morning Jacket, Ryan Adams, Old 22s etc etc etc. And whille I would genralize this group as similar when my friends ask me to describr their sound I go with "southern based blues rock, like Lynard Skynnyrd but more in your face." sorry fpr amy typos I typed this on my blackberry and can't really see what I'm actuallt typinh.

    General Comment:newwave1111, i'm a fan of wilco as well. wilco was a bit similar to lucero during their early days. check out the album AM for example, the genre is considered alt-country. when people ask me what lucero sounds like i usually say early wilco meets late replacements.
