Billy Joel - The Downeaster "Alexa" Lyrics |
| Submitted by: AUTO-ADD |
| Current Rating: None | Well I'm on the Downeaster "Alexa"
And I'm cruising through
Block Island Sound
I have charted a course to the Vineyard
But tonight I
am Nantucket bound
We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
And
left this morning fromhe bell in Gardner's Bay
Like all the locals here I've
had to sell my home
Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the
bone
So I could own my Downeaster "Alexa"
And I go where the ocean is
deep
There are giants out there in the canyons
And a good captain can't
fall asleep
I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes
I know
there's fish out there but where God only knows
They say these waters aren't
what they used to be
But I've got people back on land who count on
me
So if you see my Downeaster "Alexa"
And if you work with the rod
and the reel
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
And I still have my hands
on the wheel
Now I drive my Downeaster "Alexa"
More and more miles
from shore every year
Since they told me I can't sell no stripers
And
there's no luck in swordfishing here
I was a bayman like my father was
before
Can't make a living as a bayman anymore
There ain't much future for
a man who works the sea
But there ain't no island left for islanders like
me
