1. The Price Of Love (Don & Phil Everly)
wine is sweet and gin is bitter
drink all you can but you won't forget her
you talk too much, you laugh too loud
you see her face in every crowd
chorus:
that's the price of love, the price of love
the debt you pay with tears and pain
the price of love the price of love
can cost you more when you're to blame
kiss one girl then kiss another
kiss them all but you won't recover
you're dancing slow you're dancing fast
you're happy now but that won't last

2. Wild Card (Buddy and Julie Miller)
i was just a wild card free as you please
blowing down the road as cool as a breeze
blowing down the highway free as the law allows
i was just a rolling stone a rambling man
but when it came to love i had to throw in my hand
cause there ain't no wild card ever could beat the house
you can't beat the house man you better think twice
love's gonna win take my advice
you don't know the score its a losing game
there ain't a wild card love can't tame
you can be a high rollin man about town
but the bets are all off when love comes around
cause there ain't no wild card ever could beat the house
you're gonna lose your heart friend you better beware
it's a loaded dice love doesn't play fair
the deck is stacked against you there ain't no doubt
love will make a ramblin man wanna stay home
make a family man out of a rolling stone
and there ain't no wild card ever could beat the house
you ain't got a chance but don't worry now
you're gonna be happy you lost anyhow
cause there ain't no wild card ever could beat the house

3. I Can't Get Over You (Julie Miller)
i've been trying for a long long time
but no matter what i do
when i turn to leave my heart stays behind
cause i can't get over you
i keep movin on running hard and fast
but everywhere that i run to
i'm just standing still livin in the past
cause i can't get over you
if memories were like the leaves that fall
the wind would have carried them from my mind
the seasons pass but they never change
a broken heart can't keep time
while i've watched as colors faded in the sun
the color of my love stays true
i've been letting go now and i'm not holding on
i just can't get over you

4. Midnight And Lonesome (Julie Miller)
there's a wordless moon that's watching tonight
there's a garden that's left to grow wild
there's a sound with no name when a far away train
cries like an unloved child
the paint on the walls is peeling away
there's a photograph that fades on the shelf
but the memory stays on of a love that is gone
and i'm dancing by myself
why why i wanna know
she went and left me nowhere to go
why why tell me my friend
it's midnight and lonesome again
the moon's still alone and i wonder sometimes
if that's why the train has to cry
so i ask right out loud
but there's no answer now
cause i'm just talking to the sky
now the morning is time to get ready
in the evening you take off your shoes
well you work all the day till the sun's gone away
but midnight lays claim to the blues

5. When It Comes To You (Jim Lauderdale, Buddy and Julie Miller)
baby i got my lovelight on
baby i got the beat
i got twenty dollars in my shoe
and rhythm in my feet
i got more than 40 different grooves
and twice as many moves
i be a cool rocking daddy that's who
when it comes to you
well i'm a man with a plan honey
if you got the desire
we can go stepping out
and we can set the money on fire
just come with me on a little trip
and we can give the blues the slip
there ain't nothin that i would not do
when it comes to you
if you push the first domino
we'll go flying like a gto
baby just have to let me know
any time i'll be good to go
so let me know darlin
if you ever wanna fall in love
i gotta tell you
it would not take
too much of a shove
i got you under my radar
hey i am ready when you are
yeah i'm hooked and i'm stuck like glue
when it comes to you
you can send me out on a high wire
without a net below me
you can stick a feather in my hat
and call it matrimony
you got the time baby let's do the crime
we can dance while the wedding bells chime
i see my future coming into view
when it comes to you

6. Water When The Well Is Dry (Buddy Miller and Bill Mallonee)
down on the corner of the dead end street
too many tears and not a drop of relief
it'll shake up your soul, it'll tear down your pride
honey, keep your eyes pure...let us tell no lies
hatred is a criminal out on the loose
love might be a judge with a hangman's noose
it'll make you strong it'll make you bitter
i got to find myself a strong deliverer
i need a drink of something like water
i need a taste of love divine
sometimes you just gotta do what you oughtta
sometimes you bring up the water when the well is dry
gone out walking through the city tonight
sifting through the wreckage underneath the lights
all you can do is pray with all your might
there's a few thousand souls no where in sight
it's hard to swing at something you can't see
sometimes we just don't know the enemy
can't live by fear can't live by deception
hey i'm a man of peace with a few exceptions
when the world starts shaking
and the walls are breaking down till nothing's left
baby you're gonna need to hold onto something..
stronger than yourself
baby your eyes were wet with tears
your skin was drenched in sorrow
but your kiss was an open door
so i walked thru to a new tomorrow
honey like a blade of finest steel
yeah like an arrow straight and true
like gold in the hottest fire

7. A Showman's Life (Jesse Winchester)
a showman's life is a smokey bar
the fevered chase of a tiny star
it's a hotel room and a lonely wife
from what i've seen of a showman's life
nobody told me about this part
they told me all about the pretty girls and wine
the money and good times
no mention of the wear and tear on an old honkey-tonker's heart
well i might have known it
but nobody told me about this part
a boy will dream as children do
of a great white way, 'til the dream comes true
and a phony smile in a colored light
is all it is to a showman's life

8. Little Bitty Kiss (Julie and Buddy Miller)
all i wanted was a little bitty kiss
i didn't know it would get me like this
but when she took aim it was dead on
it was too late to keep my head on
my hand is steady and my nerves are steel
but that don"t help if you ain't got the wheel
the way she smiled knocked me offa my feet
she stole my heart and she didn't miss a beat
i never even saw it coming
or i could of took off a running
i should've seen i was over my head
but i just went a fell in love instead
let me tell you mister she's so sweet
i'm a goner i'm a little play toy
she could make the devil turn the other cheek
make a king wanna be her little shoe shine boy
every time i try to back up i just trip
i try to get away but the gears were stripped
so here i am now saying i do
believe me when i testify to
it was just a little bitty kiss on the lips
but boy let me tell you loose lips sink ships

9. Please Send Me Someone To Love (Percy Mayfield)
heaven please send to all mankind
understanding and peace in mind
but if it's not asking too much
please send me someone to love
show the world how to get along
peace will enter, when hate is gone
but if it's not asking too much
please send me someone to love,
i lay awake at night and ponder a world of trouble
and my answer is always the same
that unless man put an end to this damnable sin.
hate will put the world in a flame what a shame
just because i'm in misery
i don't beg for no sympathy
but if it's not asking too much
please send me someone to love

10. Oh Fait Pitié D'Amour (Love Have Mercy On Me) (Julie Miller)
you been taking advantage of the weak
tying up my tongue till i can't speak
what have you done to my mean streak
oh fait pitié d'amour
you spin me around like a top
making me sweeter than soda pop
this has got to come to a stop
oh fait pitié d'amour
you're gonna wreck up my lonely life
with love and happiness and laughter
and take up my time making you my wife
and living happily ever after
quit making me so satisfied
just to be sitting here by your side
thinking that you oughta be my bride
oh fait pitié d'amour
how did you get a full grown
sitting right in the palm of your hand
making him think that it was all his plan
oh fait pitié d'amour
you play me just like a tune
making me eat right out of your spoon
you've been collaborating with the moon
oh fait pitié d'amour

11. Quecreek (Julie Miller)
On the morning I was finishing this record, nine miners were freed through a series of miracles, toil and prayer from Pennsylvania's Quecreek mine where they had been trapped for three days and nights. Julie wrote this song and we recorded it a few hours after their rescue.
at the quecreek mine nine miners went down
two hundred and forty feet deep in the ground
the night shift went a mile when there came a shout
somebody's hit water we gotta get out
it was over their heads and too fast to outrun
together they were tied to live or die as one
help came from all round
but then the drill stripped and broke
so the men penned good-byes and wives hoped against hope
when the waters come up
when you go thru the flood
in the Lord you can trust
He will be there with us
now Jesus was laid in a hole in the ground
He was dead, but the third day God's hand brought Him out
and the miners were buried three nights and three days
but like Jesus sunday morning all nine men were raised
