Scotty Emerick 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.
