The Coast Is Clear

[Verse 1]
You say the weather in Atlanta is foggy and gray
Your work gets harder every day
And your new boyfriend is holding on too tight
I got a gig at the beach, a room with a view
The only thing missing here is you
Some fresh ocean breeze might ease your mind

[Chorus]
We could walk barefoot through the warm, wet sand
Take a second look at what we had
I've been thinking a lot since I've been here
Past the neon lights and the LA haze
I'm a different man these days
So come on out, the coast is clear

[Verse 2]
I got a picture in my wallet, back in '91
That week we spent in the Sanibel sun
Ridin' the wave of our love, those were good times
But somewhere I got lost and I let you down
Young and naïve, I didn't know what I'd found
But I do now and there ain't a cloud in my mind

[Chorus]
We could walk barefoot through the warm, wet sand
Take a second look at what we had
I've been thinking a lot since I've been here
Past the neon lights and the LA haze
I'm a different man these days
So come on out, the coast is clear
