When The Coast Is Clear lyrics

Artist  : Jimmy Buffett 
Song : When The Coast Is Clear
 
By: jimmy buffett, mac mcanally
For emery clark, who paints it better than I can
say it
They’re closin’ down the hangout
The air is turnin’ cool
They’re shuttin’ off the superslide
The kids are back in school

The tourist traps are empty
Vacancy abounds
Almost like it used to be
Before the circus came to town

Chorus:
That’s when it always happens
The same time every year
I come down to talk to me
When the coast is clear

Hello mister other me
It’s been a long long time
We hardly get to have these chats
That in itself’s a crime

So tell me all your troubles
I’ll surely tell you mine
We’ll laugh and smoke and cuss and joke and
Have a glass of wine

Chorus:
That’s where it always happens
The same place every year
I come down to talk to me
When the coast is clear

(instrumental)

(it’s the only place he knows)
Where it always happens
The same place every year
I still come down to talk to me
When the coast is clear
