[00:00.00]The Downeaster 'Alexa' - Audio Idols (音频偶像)
[00:10.86]Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa
[00:16.42]And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound
[00:21.81]I have charted a course to the Vineyard
[00:27.14]But tonight I am Nantucket bound
[00:33.91]We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
[00:39.18]Left this morning from the bell in Gardiners Bay
[00:44.30]Like all the locals here I have had to sell my home
[00:49.29]Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone
[00:53.80]So I could own my Downeaster Alexa
[00:59.36]And I go where the ocean is deep
[01:04.68]There are giants out there in the canyons
[01:09.94]And a good captain can't fall asleep
[01:16.63]I got bills to pay and children who need clothes
[01:21.80]I know there's fish out there
[01:23.48]But where God only knows
[01:26.90]They say these waters aren't what they used to be
[01:32.40]But I got people back on land who count on me
[01:36.07]So if you see my Downeaster Alexa
[01:41.73]And if you work with the rod and the reel
[01:47.12]Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
[01:52.55]And I still have my hands on the wheel
[02:29.83]Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa
[02:35.14]More and more miles from shore every year
[02:40.36]Since they told me I can't sell no stripers
[02:45.70]And there's no luck in swordfishing here
[02:52.06]I was a bayman like my father was before
[02:57.71]Can't make a living as a bayman anymore
[03:02.60]There ain't much future for a man
[03:05.25]Who works the sea
[03:07.88]But there ain't no island left
[03:09.81]For islanders like me
