The Coast Is Clear is the fifth studio album by American country music artist Tracy Lawrence. It produced five singles: "How a Cowgirl Says Goodbye", "Better Man, Better Off", "The Coast Is Clear", "One Step Ahead of the Storm" and "While You Sleep". Though the first two singles charted at #2 and #4 on the country chart, respectively, the title track was the first single of Lawrence's career to fall short of the Top Ten. "While You Sleep" missed the Top 40 entirely, and "One Step Ahead of the Storm" failed to chart at all. Lawrence did not release another studio album until Lessons Learned, in 2000.
Entertainment Weekly wrote that Lawrence "mixes a fine program of driving, contemporary country with the traditional sound of his Arkansas youth."
