The afternoon low tide, workin' my plan
Got one hand in the water, the other in the sand
Two beers and a cooler, one warm heart in place
I 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 feelings all over my face
Oh, I've never been more ready than I am right now
I know sooner or later, someday, somehow
Somebody will find me
Somebody's gonna walk up and 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 forth
To better days
And they open my eyes
To the woman of my dreams strolling
With a small touch of shyness
And a smooth kind of style
She kisses me on the cheek
And she says with a smile
I've been waitin' 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, someday, somehow
Somebody's gonna walk up and 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 working my plan right now
Right here
The coast is clear
Oh yeah
I'm just working my plan right now
