1. Northwest Kid
(Dave Coleman - designee BMI)
Well you get the bill and I’ll get the tip
But next time around it won’t be like this again
Not again
You know I’m new to town still getting the feel
But who the hell said this city was real my friend
Can I call you my friend
All the silver lined clouds are getting stormed out
For a northwest kid trying to figure it out
I’m a northwest kid looking to figure it out
Well nothings back home except a stupid old man
Who never knew he could so he told me I can’t
I use to listen use to listen
My uncle was different he had a hell of a way
Use to make me laugh with every word he’d say and I miss him
Sure do miss him
All the memories slowly fading away
For a northwest kid trying to find his own way
I’m a northwest kid looking to figure it out
Austin Little Rock some little town in Mississippi
Houston Unicoi just south of Johnson City
Well they’re all the same only different names
Well thanks for letting me get it out in the clear
Yeah I’ve said more words than you wanted to hear
And I thank you
I just can’t stop thinking

2. King of Letting Go
(Dave Coleman/A.J. Masters- Sony/ATV Acuff Rose Music/
Write! Music BMI; Sony/ATV Acuff Rose Music BMI )
To be let go is a hard way to fall down
From the start I’m letting you know
I’m a rock on California solid ground
I’m the king of letting go
Let’s keep it superficial strictly romance unofficial
Everything but serious cause I’ve been scarred by experience
Well hearts get broken all of the time
I don’t wanna break yours don’t want you to break mine
If you could see my history wouldn’t be such a mystery
It’s not a matter of perfection it’s just a method of protection
Well lives get burned to ruins babe all of the time
I don’t wanna burn yours don’t want you to ruin mine
To be let go is a hard way to fall down
From that top I’m letting you know
I’m a rock on San Andreas solid ground
I’m the king of letting go

3. Gave it Back
(Dave Coleman- designee BMI)
I got rid of the gift that I gave you last Christmas
I gave it to a girl in Bowling Green
It’s been in the back of my closet like a sadness you left me
It’s only recently I’ve been recovering
I really don’t know the girl that well
She’s what you call a friend of a friend
All I know is she don’t live in this town
And there’s a chance that I won’t see that damn jacket again
I handed you my affection
And every ounce of my love
You returned it all with rejection
Oh you gave it back
I picked up on a good sign early this morning
I can’t remember your telephone numbers at all
But I still taste your favorite sweet candy
And hear the nickname that your little niece use to call
I’ve given up on why it went wrong
I guess we’re both better this way
But giving up on why it’s now gone
Doesn’t mean I don’t miss you in so many ways
Oh I miss you in so many ways
But you gave it back

4. Highway Side
(Dave Coleman/Tim Carroll- Sony/ATV Acuff Rose Music/
Write! Music BMI; Tim Carroll Music BMI)
I’m driving route twenty-four
To a job that’s such a chore
I pass a man looks a lot like me
He’s surely got a hard luck story
I wonder how did he get to there
As I see him in my rear view mirror
Well something tells me that he and I are the same
Walking on a thin white line
Watching all the cars go by
Hoping for a north bound ride
Down on the highway side
Hitch hiking route twenty-four
God I wish I knew what’s in store
I pass a man looks a like me
Except he’s on easy street
I wonder how did he get to there
As I see him in his rear view mirror
Well something tells me that he and I are the same

5. Want Me To
(Dave Coleman/Scott Davis - Sony/ATV Acuff Rose Music/Write!
Music BMI; Sony/ATV Acuff Rose Music ASCAP)
I’m looking for someone special
Someone a whole lot like you
I’ve got to ask one simple question
Hey baby do you want me to
There are only two possible answers
But only one will do
In spite of all the circumstances
Hey Baby do you want me to
Cause every time we get together
I get a feeling like I never knew
I could stay with you forever
Hey baby do you want me to
Late at night while the whole world is sleeping
I lie awake just dreaming of you
I wonder is there a secret that you’re keeping
Hey baby do you want me to

6. Nowhere’s to Far
(Dave Coleman/Carter Wood - Sony/ATV Acuff Rose Music/
Write! Music BMI & Carter’s pub)
I’m over here yeah baby
Who knows where you are
Just to be near you lately
I all but fall apart
I keep thinking if I’m patient you might call
How it feels when you fall
Nowhere’s to far to find
The one that reaches you inside
Search the earth cross the sky
Nowhere’s to far tonight
What if you never really
Saw my face again
What if you left this city
Took off on a reckless whim
Well I’ll be right here with all the hope I’ve ever had
Oh when you came back
If you ever decide to come back

7. Jamestown
(Dave Coleman/Duane Jarvis/Jenny Yates -
Sony/ATV Acuff Rose Music/Write! Music BMI;
Quartet Music, Inc./Casa de DJ ASCAP; In My Dreams ASCAP)
He’s a dirty dealing kid robbing a ninety nine-cent store
His leather jacket keeping hid all the stuff he’s got no use for
It’s a daily double cross when you’re living a big mistake
Cause your daddy took the loss and you never got an even break
In this factory town that’s past it’s prime
I’m gonna pack my bags and get on down the line
Far from Jamestown Oh Jamestown
Cause nothing comes nothing goes around in Jamestown
There’s some carnies coming through to the food land parking lot
With wheels and lights and things to do and we all go cause it’s all we got
When you’re stuck down to the bottom where you never even see the top
You live to ride the Gravitron just to feel the bottom drop
Before I wake up and find that I’m past my prime
I’m gonna pack my bags and get on down the line
Far from Jamestown Oh Jamestown
Cause nothing comes nothin goes
Nothing comes or goes around in Jamestown
That’s the low down from Jamestown

8. Endless Road
(Dave Coleman - designee BMI)
Not like I’m dying fast
Only a little bit every day
Helpless like a child yeah
I need a good love to stay
Where you been hanging around
Are you anywhere near me now
Turn your eyes to find mine
Cause I’m looking out to be found
I been running so hard
But I can’t keep going alone
I’m asking you to walk with me
Down an endless road
It’s not like I’m lying
I’ll never be a perfect man
Yeah I stopped trying
I dropped that measure from my hand
Well I would never ask of you
Anything you don’t want
I only hope you want it to
This love that I want

9. Lonely
(Dave Coleman, designee BMI)
Time off with out pay
Shoulda taken that today
Instead I’m here and not all there
Call my name two times
I need you to to recognize
Someone needs my attention
Out of my own dimension
Lonely in my own dimension
All I need is a little of her love
All I need is all of her love
Take a walk on a short break
Take a trip on a curb that’s raised
And I go tumbling throw my hands straight out
Kneeling bleeding on the sidewalk
Looking down at daycare color chalk
And the red drops fall on a warm yellow sun
And I’m lonely in a warm yellow sun
All I need is a little of her love
All I need is all of her love
Just like a kid yeah
All I need is a little of her love
All I need is all of her love
Lonely in my own dimension
Lonely in a warm yellow sun

10. Agree
(Dave Coleman- Sony/ATV Acuff Rose Music/Write! Music BMI)
Fallen apart and torn down fall of that year she turned me around
When she said to me a few choice words
She said things will never seem to get better
The way you talk right now you just make them worse
I know we don’t have a lot but I say you deal with what you got
Besides you know you got me
So I smiled at her and nodded to agree
Self-pity was my middle name when she walked in this bar
And whispered my name louder and louder till I looked up
With tears in her eyes she spoke those words
And I was speechless from what I’d just heard
But I opened my mouth to try to speak but actions are real and talk is cheap
Besides you know words aren’t for me
So I smiled at her and nodded to agree
Momma lived on the outskirts of town in a two-room house built on family ground
It was the only thing that she could claim
Her social security and all her savings slipped away
Till the bills came in that she knew she could pay
So she came to me with tears in her eyes saying what can I do I just want to die
So I held her hand and said Momma you got me
She smiled and nodded to agree
Well I know we don’t have a lot but I say you deal with what you got
Besides you know you got me
So I smiled at her and nodded to agree

11. Kansas City Misery
(Dave Coleman- Sony/ATV Acuff Rose Music/Write! Music BMI)
I’m up late tonight cause I’m feeling so bad
Try to right it all down realize all I have
Is time to slowly get better
I’m trying so hard to pull myself together
I haven’t felt like myself in two or so years
Every now and again I just can’t stop my tears
Well they burn burn when they fall
I’m trying so hard but lately I’ve won at nothing at all
I’m not who I use to be
In the mirror I don’t recognize what I see
Please Lord hear me in my desperate plea
And help me find my way far from Kansas City misery
I guess it’s live or die fight or fall
Stay in bed or answer that piercing call
Well it’s time to slowly get better
I’m trying so hard to pull myself together
I’ll have to cross the great Mississippi
To escape this lonesome place
Well I’ve always feared the water
But this is one swim I must make

12. Into the Dark
(Dave Coleman, designee BMI)
Let’s start talking darling
Instead of lying bout it all feels right
We’re caught in traffic stalling
And it’s time that we turned at the light
Oh that’s right
I don’t know where we’re going
I only know where we are
And I just see that we’re headed into the dark
Where you going so late
On second take well I think that I know
It’s plain to see you’ll go dancing
Out with the girls down to dance hall row
That’s for sure
What do you say that you and I
Sit right down and talk about tonight
And make it gone or make it right
I’m not saying no fun
I just want to settle all this first
Please go and say that you’re mine
And don’t treat this love like a curse
Cause it’s no curse

13. Can’t Thank You Enough
(Dave Coleman- Sony/ATV Acuff Rose Music/Write! Music BMI)
I can’t thank you enough
There’s just too much to say
Everything you’ve ever done
To help me on my way
I can not ever repay
I can’t thank you enough
There’s no way to describe
I just can’t explain
How I feel down inside
No matter how hard I ever try
I can’t thank you enough
When no one around reaches a hand out
You are my best damn friend
Now that I’ve found you never cared about
Who I was or where I’d been
How can I ever begin
I can’t thank you enough
I just hope that I’ll be
Everything in this world
You told me I could be
And in time we’ll see
I can’t thank you enough
