Hal Ketchum Till The Coast Is Clear Lyrics

Till The Coast Is Clear Lyrics

Last drag on a Lucky
One more swallow in the glass
Spend my time like
dirty money
Each hour longer than the last
It's easy to remember
All
the times she met me here
In the safety of these shadows
Waiting till the
coast is clear

Bob Wills on the jukebox
No one in here knows my
name
Just a wide spot on the highway
Where everybody looks the
same
Pull the change out of my pocket
The waitress brings another
beer
Outside a welcome sign keeps flashing
Waiting till the coast is
clear

When the coast is clear she'll call my name
Like a whisper in
my ear
And in my mind I know that nothing's changed
She's waiting till
the coast is clear

Left my suitcase at the station
Hitched a ride
back into town
I know there'd be a mess of trouble
If they knew I was
around
I'll be living these memories
If I live a hundred years
I'm not
running, I'm not hiding
I'm waiting till the coast is clear
