When the Coast Is Clear
Growing up on the Jersey Shore I can so relate to that song!
They're closin' down the hangout
The air is turnin' cool
They'r 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
That's when it always happens
Same time every year
I come down to talk to me
When the coast is clear
That's life on a sandbar! Nobody has ever said it better!!!!

"No Plane On Sunday"
(one I use for inspiration while often waiting for LIAT to show up or take off.)
The lyrics of this song have always stuck with me. Shortly after this album came out, I was at a Lindbergh Bay beach bar in St. Thomas. This guy and his wife came in but the guy could not calm down about his American Eagle flight being delayed. The more he drank, the angrier he got. I remember thinking here we all are on this beautiful beach, but this poor guy can't enjoy it because he can't get over his flight being late. Since then, I have tried never to get too upset in similiar situations.
"Floridays" is always one of my Top 3 Buffett albums, excellent throughout.

This is my all time favorite Buffett album being 3 of my favorites are on here. If it all falls down makes me think of myself is someways and how can you beat the line "The whole damn words gone crazy. The moon is jumpin' over the cow." in I Love the Now! It's so true!
