The Coast Is Clear

Afternoon low tide, workin' my plan

Got one hand in the water, the other in the sand

Two beers in a cooler, one warm heart in place

Got a picture in a bottle, one nailed up to a palm tree

One out in the wind and they all look like me

I want somebody to be the feeling's all over my face

Oh, I've never been more ready than I am right now

I know sooner or later, someday, somehow

Somebody's gonna walk up

An' join somebody sittin' right here

So wherever, whoever you are

The coast is clear

I close my eyes and the sound of the waves

Carries me forward to better days

An' they open my eyes to the woman of my dreams strolling in

With a small touch of shyness an' a smooth kind of style

She kisses me on the cheek and she says with a smile:

"I've been waiting all my life for you, baby. Where have you been?"

Oh, I've never been more ready than I am right now

I know sooner or later, someway, somehow

Somebody's gonna walk up

An' join somebody sittin' right here

So wherever, whoever you are

The coast is clear

Girl, wherever, whoever you are

The coast is clear

Afternoon low tide, I'm just workin' my plan

Right now, right here

The coast is clear

Oh, yeah
