You say the weather in Atlanta
Is foggy and gray
Your work gets harder everyday
And your new boyfriend is holdin' on too tight
I got a gig at the beach
A room with a view
The only thing missin' here is you
Some fresh ocean breeze might ease your mind
We could walk barefoot through the warm wet sand
Take a second look at what we had
I been thinkin' a lot since I been here
Past the neon nights and the L.A. haze
I'm a different man these days
So come on out the coast is clear
I got a picture in my wallet from back in '91
That week we spent in the Santa Belle sun
Ridin' the wave of our love, those were good times
But somewhere I got lost and let you down
Young and nave I didnt' know what I'd found
But I do now and there ain't a cloud in my mind
We could walk barefoot through the warm wet sand
Take a second look at what we had
I been thinkin' a lot since I been here
Past the neon nights and the L.A. haze
I'm a different man these days
So come on out the coast is clear
