Like A Thief

(Brian Hendrix)

This is strictly metaphorical. I do not endorse people stealing anything! That being said, I thought this was a very unique angle to take on a man who really desires a woman and wants to let her know that he's going to win her heart, even if he has to steal it. Very unique and catchy.

V1
I could say that I can love you a whole lot better
Than you've ever been loved
And I could tell you that since you're down here
There's an angel missing up there above

(Pre-Chorus)
But words I speak will only go so far
When I'm out to break into your heart 

(Chorus)
Like a thief
I wanna steal the things important to me
Carry them away
There's a key 
But if you will not give it over freely 
I'll get in anyway 
I can cut through the iron
I can break down the doors
I can reach the places you won't believe
Like a thief 

V2
I'd probably pick any lock you bolted
But I'd rather have you open the door
To let you know that a man here loves you
And you'll never have to doubt anymore 

(Pre-Chorus) 
Love songs and roses, tools of my trade
Start to pick my guitar to crack open your safe

(Chorus)

(Bridge) 
Just give me a try or two
I'm good at what I do
And ain't no diamonds or jewels
I want as badly as you

(Chorus)

Smiling Eyes

By Brian Hendrix

I tried to get a little poetic here about a guy who gets lost in a girl's eyes he thinks are absolutely beautiful. So the language is a little on the purple side, but I think it came together very nicely as a song

Mongoose and the Cobra

By Brian Hendrix

This is a talking-blues song. This is a very specific genre, so I understand if it's not everyone's cup of tea. Me, I love the talking-blues genre and have written quite a few. I really like this one. It's a legitimate story that has a strong moral and everything, while also being a little on the humorous side.

Here in the Hollers

By Brian Hendrix

I wrote this chorus years ago, about growing up in mountain hollers in the Appalachia, a world away from where the vast majority of people grow up. Most people can't even picture what life was like there. I didn't write the verses until all this civil unrest started, and people who live in my neck of the woods started to get blamed for things that have nothing to do with us. So, yeah, this song has a political meaning, but I worded it in a way that it's not very overt or polarizing. It's a true story about Mrs. Johnson losing her land and John finding God and people laughing at him, and the government tearing down all our land and blocking our water, while at the same time taking more away from us saying we owe things to other people for things we never did. "Bear" and "Oak" are the name of holler communities, by the way.

You, Me and the Cat

By Brian Hendrix

A very upbeat, fun song. It's one of those that turned out way better than the few lines I was playing with when writing it. It's very folksy-country without being too genre-specific either. Probably one of my favorite choruses I've ever written. It's more of a whimsical story, though a lot of people can still probably relate to love moving really fast. The bridge is also my favorite. I think you'll love it.
