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
