Tommy Bolin - Alexis Lyrics
Alexis, thank you for a pleasant southern daySpent on the levy throwin' pennies in the bayAnd talkin 'bout the rich folksOn the big boats that pass that wayYou were just a young girlI just could not stayAlexis, I can't remember how we met back thenWas on my way to Atlanta, now I'm on that road againNot really poor, had money just not to spendYou were just a young girl, and I was in need of a friendAlexis, you always used to talk aboutLeavin your hometown, headin on southMaybe down to New OrleansAnd you wanted me to help you outBut you were just a young girlAnd I was just a hobo... that had my doubtsAlexis, I did not want to... want to leave you thereSometimes this life we lead is so unfairI wanted to take you with meBut I did not dareYou were just a young girl and I could not pay your fareAlexis, you always used to talk aboutLeavin your hometown, headin on southMaybe down to New OrleansAnd you wanted me to help you outBut you were just a young girlAnd I was just a hobo... that had my doubtsI had my doubts
