The Judge

(Brian Hendrix)

Another western song I wrote. Typically I write about outlaws and the suchlike, but this one's about a bounty hunter nicknamed "The Judge." I was going to write a very, very long song, about seven verses or so, explaining his real name, where he grew up, etc. Though I think I'd like to make a series of songs about The Judge. We'll see how it goes. This one's very catchy.

I heard a story 'bout a man Chased Hickok out Cheyenne Too good not to be real 'Bout how Wild Bill don't stand a chance Shot a fella 'cross the saloon While he was playing stud Then threw the barkeep two bits Said "I'm sorry 'bout the blood" Then the ladies all spoke up They said, "There goes the Judge" (Chorus) Here comes the Judge And he wants to hang 'em high That poster's got two options But he won't take 'em in alive Schofield's lightning and a deadshot When push it comes to shove Ain't no posse even Pinkertons Makes 'em run like the Judge One I seen with my own eyes Four Rancheros in disguise But you only heard one gun A dio mio, they all died An outlaw had his Springfield pulled Aimed at the Judge just like a fool Poor fella lost his head He took his horse and rifle too When people saw him in the mud They said, "There goes the judge" (Chorus) He's tracking bounties place to place Just hope he don't hold your face 'Cause there ain't nowhere you can hide A forty-five is now your fate He'll shoot the wings off of a fly Still have five shots to win the fight If you feel lucky 'nough to pull First bid your loved ones a goodbye They'll be holdin' them a grudge Sayin' "There goes the Judge" (Chorus)

What's So Wrong with That

By Brian Hendrix


A lot of emphasis is placed on girls and guys meeting each other the "right" way now in our overly PC culture. I don't know anything about all of that; all I know is that people are never going to become close and fall in love if they never meet. So meet people how you want, where you want. As long as you respect other people, don't let anyone tell you what to do. This is a song about two people meeting in a bar and hitting it off. Soft, light, and most importantly, it's a true story for countless people.

Woman's Duality

By Brian Hendrix


A song I started writing many years ago. Dug it up in a very old .doc file, figured I'd try to touch it up and finish it. Being frank, I doubt this is one that'd ever strike it #1, though it's a strong track for any country or folk album. This is one of those songs that actually has quite a lot to say in very few words. I'm happy and proud with how it turned out. The last verse is my favorite, though it'll just read as XXXXX here. Though if anyone likes the first few verses, the last one is the strongest. It says the most metaphorically in the least amount of words. That's what songwriting's supposed to do, I guess. I like it enough to include it here. Plus, this is the way many men feel. Women with their contradictory nature at times... it can get -- well, let's just say "odd."

Cool Mountain Air

By Brian Hendrix


I was driving up the mountain to visit my brother and I remarked to my mother who was driving that the air must have dropped about 20 degrees halfway up. It was very chilly, and I guess this song sorta floated in on the wind, as the entire time at my brother's house I was looking to write this chorus down before I forgot it. The rest of the song built around that, and I'm really thrilled about the final result and how this came out in the end. This is a situation a lot of rural/southern people go through. People close to us don't feel stuck to the land; they feel drawn to the big city. We often wish they'd come on home, where they belong.

Baby You're Mine

By Brian Hendrix


Wow. Can't believe I never posted this. Had this written for a while. I remember right after I thought of the main line here, which inspired the song, "Baby, you're mine," and the way I said it, that this was one of my top-20 songs before it was even finished. Yeah. I love this song. "Baby, you're mine... baby you're mine." The way it works for me, the second time is a lot quicker, which makes it sound very cool to sing. That's how I do it. Also, the verses immediately bleed into the chorus; that's just how it's set up.
