Those are the best lines. "And who could tell the dogs from the men. I see there faces, and I know where they've been. I know I'm with them but I aint like that." It's said that the album is loosely based on the Odyssey, which makes perfect sense here. It reminds me of a soldier in a war that has done things, and has been ordered to do things that question his morals. A good example of this would be the film Glory, in which the regiment which the film revolves around, is ordered to burn down a southern town. The colonel refuses to participate at first, but finally gives the order after being threatened with court-marshall. His men cleary don't want to be a part of these obvious war crimes, while watching the other regiment ("the dogs") burn down these innocent peoples homes, but they have no choice. "Oh and as we ran, with the fire behind us and the torch in my hand." Anyway. . . |

"At the end of the road he calls everyone home, and the fire will consume us. . ." -This is definatley biblical, talking about judgement day. The whole song is very narrative so it's pretty easy to understand. The only thing I really have to say, or add is I think Adam got the idea for the- ". . .in our yard buried underneath the pine, is a shoebox full of money, of which I've never earned a dime." line from the film The Shawshank Redemption, in which the lead character Andy tells his friend to dig up a box from under a tree, in which among other things is money. I don't know, just thinkin'. . . |

| Lucero – Nights Like These Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Anybody heard the Two Cow Garage song 'Your Humble Narrator'. I posted it on the meanings to that song, but I'm pretty sure the song he referances in the chorus is 'Nights Like These'. Just curious if anybody else had any input on the subject. | |

I believe that the chorus, 'The one about a boy who broke your heart and brought you to your knees. It was a sad slow waltz in three-quarter time by my friends from Tennesee.' is a referance to the sad, slow Lucero song Nights Like These. They are from Memphis, Tennesee. "I've only got this just one wish. I wish I was good enough to make you forget the only boy who ever broke your heart, 'cause nights like these tear me apart." |
