Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa[00:00:10]

And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound[00:00:16]

I have charted a course to the Vineyard[00:00:21]

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

We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday[00:00:33]

And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay[00:00:39]

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

Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone[00:00:49]

So I could own my Downeaster Alexa[00:00:53]

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

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

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

I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes[00:01:16]

I know there's fish out there but where God only knows[00:01:21]

They say these waters aren't what they used to be[00:01:26]

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

So if you see my Downeaster Alexa[00:01:35]

And if you work with the rod and the reel[00:01:41]

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

And I still have my hands on the wheel[00:01:52]

Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa[00:02:29]

More and more miles from shore every year[00:02:35]

Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers[00:02:40]

And there's no luck in swordfishing here[00:02:45]

I was a bayman like my father was before[00:02:51]

Can't make a living as a bayman anymore[00:02:57]

There ain't much future for a man who works the sea[00:03:02]

But there ain't no island left for islanders like me[00:03:07]
