The Downeaster Alexa Lyrics - 12 Gardens Live - Billy Joel

Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa 

And I'm cruisin' through Block Island Sound 

I have charted a course to the vineyard 

But tonight I am Nantucket bound 

 

We took on diesel back in Mantauk yesterday 

And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay 

Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home 

Too proud to leave I work 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

 

I 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
