1. Does My Ring Burn Your Finger   (Julie and Buddy Miller)

When I gave you my heart
It was not what you wanted
Now the walls say your name
And the pictures are haunted
Does my ring burn your finger
Did my love weigh you down
Was a promise to much
To keep around

I remember your words
And I can’t keep from crying
I could never believe
That your kisses were lying
Was there something from the past
Buried in a shallow grave
Did you think that it was too far gone to save

Please tell me baby
Please tell me now
You say that I should just go on
Now please tell me how

Now it’s just me and the night
And I’m so broken hearted
I just wait in the dark here
For my dearly departed
Does my ring burn your finger
Did my love weigh you down
Was a promise to much
To keep around

2. Love Match  (Paul Kennerley)

The crowd had gathered
They'd heard the word
Pretty soon I'd be losing her
They stood in line just to see
The way she'd make a meal of me
They held their breath
Whispered low
Waiting for that final blow
They called her name
She was picked to win
As we walked out into the ring

And the first round she broke my heart
Second round she tore it apart
Third round I was on the ropes
Fourth round I didn't have a hope
The things she said in the final bought
laid me low really knocked me out
she waved to the crowd without a scratch
the heartbreak champion of this love match

they called for blood
they wanted more
they picked me up off the floor
my head was spinning
I staggered round
I couldn't stand for falling down
The lights were dim
I heard them say
You can't make it anyway
But I was game I climbed back in
I tried to win her back again

And the first round she hurt me bad
Second round couldn't handle it
Third round well I almost died
Fourth round I saw that look in her eyes
I knew right then how it would be
She turned and walked away from me
They shouted fair and square there ain't no catch
She's the heartbreak champion of the love match

3. I'm Gonna Be Strong  (Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil)

I can see you’re slipping away from me
And you’re so afraid I’ll plead with you to stay
I’m gonna be strong I'll let you go your way

Love is gone there’s no sense in holding on
And your pity now would be than I could bare

I’m gonna be strong I'll pretend that I don’t care

I’m gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can
I’m gonna be strong and let you run along and take it like a man

When you say it’s the end I’ll hand you a line
I’ll smile and say don’t you worry I’m fine
And you’ll never know darling after you kiss me goodbye
How I’ll break down and cry cry cry

4. Looking For A Heartache Like You  (Jim Lauderdale, Julie and Buddy Miller)

Here I go again
got my self in trouble
Baby I need help
get here on the double
You must be the one
to show me signs so subtle
I think you ought to spend
more time inside my bubble
Looking for a heartache like you

Here's to everyone
finding what they're after
So were the words
of my uncle jasper
When I first saw you
at the honey soppin
You rocked me on down
to the feet of my pajamas
Looking for a heartache like you

What's a face like yours to kiss
doing in a place like this
even though I run the risk
of losing you by saying all these things

I'll join up
if you're recruiting
we can ramble on
if the weather's suiting
Circle to the left
go out a swinging
Something inside
can't stop singing

5. Cruel Moon  (Julie and Buddy Miller)

Oh cruel moon you shine so bright
And act like everythings all right
You shine as if there's nothing wrong
You shine on down like she's not gone

Oh cruel moon don't make me see
Where our sweet love scene use to be
For it was you who watched our kiss
Please don't lite up the night like this

Oh cruel moon don't shine on me
You'll bring me to her memory
Why you can't you leave me in the dark
You never had a broken heart

Oh cruel moon you say her name
And act as if you're not to blame
You know it hurts me to recall
Or don't you even care at all

Oh cruel moon don't shine on me
You'll bring me to her memory
Why you can't you leave me in the dark
You never had a broken heart

Oh cruel moon so high above
You must have never lost your love
If only you would be my friend
And hide your face from me again

6. Somewhere Trouble Don't Go   (Julie Miller)

DEVIL HAD A DAUGHTER
TOOK ME TO DEEP WATER
TRIED TO KILL ME WITH A KISS
SHE SAID “HEY NOW HONEY”
WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY
I SAID “ I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THIS”

TAKE ME TAKE ME SOMEWHERE TROUBLE DON'T GO
MAKE ME MAKE ME SOMEONE TROUBLE DON'T KNOW

SHE SAID BABY COME INSIDE
I SAID SORRY I GOT TO RIDE
SORRY BUT I GOT TO RIDE
YOU KNOW YOU COULD END UP DEAD
SLEEPING IN THE DEVIL'S BED
SLEEPING IN THE DEVIL'S BED

TAKE ME TAKE ME SOMEWHERE TROUBLE DON'T GO
MAKE ME MAKE ME SOMEONE TROUBLE DON'T KNOW

BABY WANTS TO DRIVE MY CAR
BUT SHE WANTS TO GO TOO FAR
BUT SHE WANTS TO GO TOO FAR
FIRST COMES LOVE IT'S SO FINE
HERE COMES HEARTACHE RIGHT BEHIND
HERE COMES HEARTACHE RIGHT BEHIND

BABY USED TO BE SO SWEET
NOW SHE WON'T COME DOWN MY STREET
NOW SHE WON'T COME DOWN MY STREET

ALL MY PLANS GOT DERAILED
SHE LOCKED UP MY HEART IN JAIL

7. In Memory Of My Heart  (Julie and Buddy Miller)

Light a candle in the rain
Sing a sad song in the dark
Throw a flower in the river
In memory of my heart

You were such life to me or so sweet to me
For my heart you were breath and blood
Now I'm in misery
Cause I can't live without your love

Light a candle in the rain
Sing a sad song in the dark
Throw a flower in the river
In memory of my heart

I'll go on like before
And look the same as
I've always been
But my heart's gone for sure
Since forever's come to an end

8. Sometimes I Cry   (Julie Miller, Jim Lauderdale and Buddy Miller)

Momemnts when I could swear
It's like you were just here
Somebody wake me up when we get there
So you'll be here why can't you be here
Sometimes I cry sometimes I cry
I stop holding up and my heart gets stuck
And that might take awhile
Sometimes I cry sometimes I cry
Sometimes I just break down and my tears come round
Like water from the sky
Sometimes I cry

No one knows what might happen
Takes away so much that matters
Images showing up start me thinking
And remembering I'm remembering

Sometimes I cry sometimes I cry
I stop holding up and my heart gets stuck
And that might take awhile
Sometimes I cry talk to you and sigh
Sometimes you still make me laugh
And that helps to pass
All the carrying on
Sometimes I cry

Can't make the puzzle fit like before
We'll have to discuss that a lot more

9. I'm Too Used To Lovin You  (Julie and Buddy Miller)

I leave the light on at my backdoor
Though you don't come around here no more
And the mailbox still has your name
Cause I forget it's not the same

I close my eyes when I'm in bed
But that don't get you out of my head
And I can't sleep but when I do
You're in my dreams
I wake up and reach for you

I'm too used to
I'm to used to
Got too used to loving you

I talk to you it's just like you're here
Though I know you are no where near
I left your things all out where they are
And they remain (just like the) love that's in my heart

Cause I'm too used to
I'm to used to
Got too used to loving you

I can't seem to face the fact
I keep prayin that you'll come back
I don't want nobody new
I'm too used to loving you

I'm too used to
I'm to used to
Got too used to loving you

10. I'm Not Getting Any Better At Goodbye   (Steve Earle)

Seems like I've been here before
Just outside some closing door
Standing here just searching for a line
You'd think by now I'd have it down
I know I should be wiser now
Cause no one's gonna bail me out this time cause
I'm not gettin any better at goodbyes

I'm not any better now than when I first began
It hurts every bit as much as it did way back then
I suppose I cry a lot
The only thing for sure is I'm not gettin' any better at goodbyes

Friends will come and friends will go
But lovers memories die so slow
And they won't always let you know it's time
But even this shall pass I guess and
You'll be just like all the rest
I'll start dusting off all my best lines cause
I'm not gettin' any better at goodbyes
