Has anybody transcribed or have a transcription of Jimmy's & Mac's revised lyrics to "When the Coast is Clear"? I haven't found the new lyrics anywhere on the Web. 8)

These are c/o ph4ever.

Out on our Gulf waters
A different kind of storm
People run for cover
As opinions like clouds form

The trawler nets are empty
Vacancy abounds
Nothin' like it used to be
Before the circus came to town

It was bound to happen
It happened to be here
We're gonna have to work to see
That the coast is clear

The Gulf is in my body
The Gulf is in my soul
I wish like you that I could stick
A wine cork in that hole

Anger makes us doubtful
While fear can cloud the view
I for one don't think we've done
The best that we can do

It was bound to happen
Where greed and crude appear
I hope that I'm around to see
When the coast is clear

It's the place that we all love

Wish it hadn't happened
But we'll still all be here
Livin' 'til that day appears
And our coast is clear

So clear...
So clear...
So clear...

SAVE THE GULF!!!

Glad to know I am not the only softie. Hand on his chest with "it's in my soul" did me in.

I was at a bar-b-cue at my mom's house and cut her tv on just in time to catch it.
They joked that I was "queer for Buffett" as I was glued to the tv listening to the lyrics.
Great song!

Thank you, Anne, for the beautiful keepsake. I'm going to print it out and frame it. It applies to a lot of things besides the coast that we should keep in our hearts and heads.

That is really beautiful. I wonder if we could get he and Mac to sign one and raffle it off to raise money for the Gulf?

I'm going to email Charlotte, maybe an item for the MOTM auction with the proceeds going to the Gulf? I don't know, I just had the basic idea maybe she has some other idea of how to go about it.
