Walk-Away Joe

(Brian Hendrix)

This is more in the old-timey vein of classic country, about a guy who decided one day to start walking. And he's never stopped. He's picked up the nickname "walk-away Joe." Just a fun little song.

(Chorus) The call him walk-away Joe He's never seen a door That he ain't tried to get out of He don't care the situation That he's facing He's leavin'; he'll go walk around some He don't suffer fools 'nough to argue with one Walk-away Joe, hey, there he goes Well, he had a wife and a beautiful life 'Til he caught her with another man She cried and begged, "Babe please, will you forgive me" And he threw the ring off of his hand Her lips rattled on, he never heard her talk He put on his best boots and then off he walked For all the years and miles, never cracked a smile Never tried to get out of the rain He'd just pat and turn like most live and learn Lap around and then just do the same 'Bout the biggest damn calves that you ever saw And you probably ain't drove as far as he's walked (Chorus) Held a couple of jobs, the definition of odd Long enough just to get what he needs Then he's off again, taking another trip He's blown around more than the breeze He's worn more boots out than you've ever bought Almost a guarantee you'll see Joe walk (Chorus)

Empty Bottle Blues

By Brian Hendrix

This is a blues song in the truest sense of the world, in terms of rhythm and cadence and melody. I just tried to put my own spin on the sort of blues song that you might hear in the 1950s.

I'm In Therapy

By Brian Hendrix

A song about a guy who drinks his problems away, like a lot of people. It's suggested to him that he go to therapy, and he knows a lot of people in therapy. From his perspective, however, he is in therapy, and he's doing just fine. Just a fun drinking song.

Your Blue Eyes Don't See Me

By Brian Hendrix

A folk song I wrote about a pretty girl who a man views as smart and perceptive, and he really cares for her. He believes that she sees the world in a unique way, but he's upset and confused that she doesn't see how much he cares about her and how good he is for her. In terms of writing, I really love how poetic this came out.

Silver Lady

By Brian Hendrix

I was a teenager and woke up one night, and a lady was standing over me while I slept. It really got to me. I convinced myself it was just a dream, but it stuck with me for so long, always thinking about that "silver lady" I saw. That's how she looked like to me, and this is just a folk-style song I wrote about what I imagine the "silver lady" to be.

Mick Jagger

By Ari Wilde

This song is about dissing somebody who thinks he's cool but he's not. Could be directed at another musician or simply at an old friend. You can even make it funny and make it about yourself -- it was definitely one of the things I had in mind when I wrote it.

Emotions Are A Bonfire

By Karianne Gabaldon

This is about a whirlwind of emotional battle going on inside your mind. Uncontrolled screaming, crying, yelling, etc. and there’s nothing else you can do but write a song and hope that it gets better. So, for hours sake, I hope these lyrics give you some closure. Much love!

Der Sinn in diesem Leben

By David Bukovic

Ich weiß wer ich bin und Ich kenne meine Aufgaben in diesem Leben. Aber ich weiß nicht ob das was ich mache wirklich Sinn macht. Vielleicht lerne ich irgendwann jemanden kennen, der es weiß und es mir verrät....
