Joel Billy - The Downeaster Alexa Lyrics

Align:

Well Im on the downeaster alexa

And Im cruising through block island sound

I have chartered a course to the vineyard

But tonight I am nantucket bound

We took on diesel back in montauk yesterday

And left this morning from the bell in gardners bay

Like all the locals here Ive 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 cant fall asleep

Ive got bills to pay and children who need clothes

I know theres fish out there but where God only knows

They say these waters arent what they used to be

But Ive 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 cant sell no stripers

And theres no luck in swordfishing here

I was a bayman like my father was before

Cant make a living as a bayman anymore

There aint much future for a man who works the sea

But there aint no island left for islanders like me
