[00:00:00] Downeaster Alexa - Chris Angel

[00:00:01] Written by：Billy Joel

[00:00:11] Well I'm on the downeaster alexa

[00:00:17] And I'm cruising through block island sound

[00:00:22] I have charted a course to the vineyard

[00:00:27] But tonight I am nantucket bound

[00:00:34] We took on diesel back in montauk yesterday

[00:00:39] And left this morning fromhe bell in gardiner's bay

[00:00:44] Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home

[00:00:50] Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone

[00:00:54] So I could own my downeaster alexa

[00:00:59] And I go where the ocean is deep

[00:01:04] There are giants out there in the canyons

[00:01:10] And a good captain can't fall asleep

[00:01:17] I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes

[00:01:22] I know there's fish out there but where God only knows

[00:01:27] They say these waters aren't what they used to be

[00:01:32] But I've got people back on land who count on me

[00:01:36] So if you see my downeaster alexa

[00:01:42] And if you work with the rod and the reel

[00:01:47] Tell my wife I am trolling atlantis

[00:01:53] And I still have my hands on the wheel

[00:02:19] Now I drive my downeaster alexa

[00:02:24] More and more miles from shore every year

[00:02:30] Since they told me I can't sell no stripers

[00:02:35] And there's no luck in swordfishing here

[00:02:41] I was a bayman like my father was before

[00:02:47] Can't make a living as a bayman anymore

[00:02:52] There ain't much future for a man who works the sea

[00:02:57] But there ain't no island left for islanders like me
