On Her Own Lyrics - Changing Horses - Ben Kweller

Good old Alexandra left her man last night 

Off to Louisiana, New Orleans in sight 

Her determination went right down to her bones 

She is gonna make it on her own, yeah 

Always been a rambler, moving her whole life 

Daddy was a gambler with a heavy hearted wife 

The twilight wind blows her face and that bronco's engine moan 

She is gonna make it on her own 

That girl don't fake it, give her rules she'll break it 

She'll love you on and on and then she'll be gone 

She's gonna make it on her own, yeah 

She's on her own, yeah 

Mom lives down in Gretna working at the the Oakwood Mall 

Hasn't seen her Alex since Katrina conquered all 

She'll be in and out as fast as a hurricane is blown 

She is gonna make it on her own 

That girl don't fake it, give her rules she'll break it 

She'll love you on and on and then she'll be gone 

She's gonna make it on her own, yeah 

Baby's on her own, oh yeah 

Go, oh Alex 

I fantasize about a love she never had for me 

She wouldn't marry him 'cause she just wants her liberty 

In fifty years I'll bet you'll see these words on her gravestone 

Here's a girl who made it on her own 

That girl don't fake it, give her rules she'll break it 

She'll love you on and on and then she'll be gone 

That girl don't fake it, give her rules she'll break it 

She'll love you on and on and on and on and on 

She's gonna make it on her own
