When The Coast Is Clearby Jimmy Buffett and Mac McAnally from the album Floridays |

Jimmy’s Note:I grew up on the Alabama Gulf Coast, and it has been a source of a lot of my music. I always like to go home after school is back in session and the crowds have left the beaches. The amusement parks are closed, and one straw covers the artificial turf of the miniature golf course. The tidal pools are once again the domain of the shorebirds, and the water changes it’s darker green, signaling the approach of winter. This is the first song Mac McAnally and I wrote together, and I think it paints the image the way I like to see it. Painting with words can be as much fun as painting with oils. |
