If You're Ever in Austin

(Brian Hendrix)

I'm proud of this one. I really like how it turned out. It's about a guy whose girl left him, and he has a simple message for her. Don't come back! Though switch a few words out, it also fits well from a girl's perspective about a man.

I've heard tell by many a-man
That things are bigger in Texas
That seems to be true for their barbecue
And the nightmares brought on by exes
Like a girl I knew, made me more than blue 
When she just up and ran out
If she changes her mind, like so many times
Tell her ass, I don't want her around

(Chorus) 
Say, If you're ever in Austin
Don't look me up
Head on to Dallas in that beat-up truck
If it breaks down, and you're leg bound
Catch a bus straight south to Laredo...
'Cause I don't want the pain you bring
Back in my life once I lost it
So if you're plannin' to stop
I'd advise you to not
Keep it movin'
If you're ever in Austin 

I can't even count how many lovers scorned
Would go and give that girl a second chance
But I've got just too much pride in myself
And she's got too much blood on her hands
There's a reason she left, she might not tell you
But ask the man she followed out of state
I hope she don't think that I'd ever forget
Don't come back tryin' to eat off my plate

(Chorus) 

(Bridge) 
I'm not bitter; I just tell the truth
I've long moved on from the past
I got enough trouble tryin' to pay my bills
I don't need another pain in the ass

(Chorus)

Lyin' to Myself Again

By Brian Hendrix

I woke up this morning with this song in my head and just jotted it down. So it's the newest song I've written. About a guy who was really tore up by his woman leaving him and lies to himself that he's over her, when he's really not. Though it can also work just as well from a female's perspective. Only a simple word needs to be changed in the entire song.

Walked Into a Hurricane

By Brian Hendrix

A story about the age-old love at first sight, though told in a very catchy, country-style lyric that explores a man who falls hard for a girl and leaps right into the relationship, despite what his family and friends think. The way the man describes it is that he walked right into a hurricane. This is a very uptempo, loud song, which would really come to life with someone putting their full set of pipes to it. The chorus really, really rises up in inflection, when it gets to "I say 'you never met this girl, don't try to tell me!!!'" There's a strong emphasis on this song being sung well.

Natural Order

By Brian Hendrix

This is a song I wrote inspired by my father, who passed away a year ago. I wrote this a few months after he passed. The way I wrapped my head around it finally was reaching the realization that this is simply the "natural order" of life. We love. We laugh. But mostly, we lose. We lose what we have and what we gain, and it's something that unifies us. As divided as we are in this world, we never seem to take the time to realize that we're all going through the same stuff. We're all at the mercy of the natural order. Country song from a male perspective.

I Didn't Come Here to Talk

By Brian Hendrix

There are countless love songs out there. Though this is more about a man who admits that he wants a certain thing from a woman. He doesn't mind all that talking and feeling and emotional stuff; just save it for tomorrow. He has other things on his mind tonight. We can all relate to that feeling. It's a relatively slow-paced song that's quintessential country.

Why am I cold?

By Steven Mailer

A warrior tasked with defending the last of mankind begins to lose his mind under the battering of constant warfare, in his madness he decides the only way to save mankind is to upgrade them into a cybernetic race of warriors. This song is intended to be an ode to many different versions of this concept littered throughout science fiction.
