Cowboys In Her Eyes

(Brian Hendrix)

A story about a girl who grew up watching those old western movies as a kid, and now that she's grown up and looking for love, she can't seem to find it because she refuses to settle for any man who's not just like those old western heroes like Clint Eastwood.

As a little girl she loved those western movies The man with no name; she'd whistle out the theme When she blossomed to a woman she started seeing All those bearded, big-iron men float through her dreams Her mama told her, "Girl, you'll long for true love That those types of men you want will rarely give" She insisted that the cowpokes with Stetsons and their guns Were the only things on Earth worth calling men (Chorus) She's got cowboys in her eyes, romance on her mind Believing she can take the place of his need to rope and ride She don't concede to lore 'bout lonely, knowing she's the one and only Kind of girl to make him stay home and love on her more than his ponies You can't tell her that she's wrong, Lord, she's in for a surprise 'Cause she can only see those cowboys in her eyes She was almost tricked to love by a few pretenders That she insists back in the West wouldn't last a day She wants that type of man she's only see on TV screens And doesn't realize they might not exist here anyway There was a businessman, tall, rich, ruggedly handsome And a brave, well-suited man who risked his life in fire But she never saw them twice, 'cause they weren't her kind of guys They weren't fit for her and her long-held desires (Chorus)

One Night in Heaven

By Brian Hendrix


This one's about something you experience with a significant other that goes so right that it doesn't feel real at the moment. It feels like it's just make believe. I wrote this sitting on the porch at about 1am with the small of honeysuckle all through the air, as strong as perfume.

Pain Don't Last

By Brian Hendrix


This is a pretty self explanatory song. The basic story is a guy is heartbroken over his woman leaving him, and people seem to keep meddling in his life, asking if he's okay, and he wants to just be left alone so tells them that he is. This is something a lot of people go through. We need time and peace and room to breathe but can't get it.

Never Would Break Your Heart

By Brian Hendrix


I haven't written a serious song in a while. This one popped in my head when I was least expecting it, and it sort of wrote itself how it wanted to be. It's a relatively short song, but I do like what it's saying. It's basically a man telling a woman all the things he'll never be, as to not get her expectations up. Though one of those things he'll never be also includes a man that will break her heart.

Wunschfrei

Dieser Song ist denen gewidmet, die, wie so viele in die Jahre gekommene Paare, wunderbar widerspiegelt. Sie rafft sich auf und schubst ihren Partner förmlich an endlich das tägliche Einerlei mit ihren Wünschen einzutauschen.
