Jimmy Buffett
Coast of Carolina (Live)
[Intro]
Alright, there I was going back after that hard show
And uh, have a little sip of Rosé and there was a bug, a bug in my wine
Its a dead bug now
I hope you had a good time at the show
Well, what a way to go
We'd like to do this song for that bug and that glass of wine there
And for people who didn't make it this year on the coast of Carolina
[Verse 1]
Little roadside restaurant, we artfully complain
Groovy tells the waitress that his chicken died in vain
Most every day goes by according to design
I live this dream but still it seems I
Have you on my mind
[Chorus]
From the bottom of my heart
Off the coast of Carolina
After one or two false starts
I believe we've found our stride
And the walls that won't come down
We can decorate or climb or find
Some way to get around
Cause I'm still on your side
From the bottom of my heart
[Verse 2]
You can't see the future, but I know it's coming fast
It's not that hard to wind up knee deep in the past
It's come a lot of Mondays since the phone booth that first night
The years, the miles, the tears and smiles
I want to get it right
[Chorus]
From the bottom of my heart
Off the coast of Carolina
After one or two false starts
I believe we've found our stride
And the walls that won't come down
We can decorate or climb or find
Some way to get around
Cause I'm still on your side
From the bottom of my heart
[Verse 2]
These days I get up about the time I used to go to bed
Living large was once the deal
But I watch the stars instead
They're timeless and predictable
Unlike most things that I do
But I'll tell the wind and my old friend
I'm headed home to you
[Chorus]
From the bottom of my heart
Off the coast of Carolina
After one or two false starts
I believe we've found our stride
And the walls that won't come down
Hell, we can decorate or climb or find
Some way to get around
Cause I'm still on your side
From the bottom of my heart
From the bottom of my heart
[Outro]
Thank you Carolina, see ya next time
Oh yeah
Thank you all, drive home carefully, see you all next summer
