Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound.
I have chartered a course to the Vineyard.
But tonight I am Nantucket bound.
We took on diesel back in Montauk 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 worked my fingers to the bone
So I could own my Downeaster Alexa,
Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa
More and more miles from shore ev'ry year,
Ya, ya, ya yo
Ya, ya, ya yo
Ya, ya, ya yo
Ya, ya, ya yo
