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
