Good Old Alexandra
|
Left her man last night
|
Off to Louisiana
|
New Orleans in sight
|
Her determination went right down to her bone
|
She is gonna make it on her own yea
|
Always been a rambler
|
Moving her whole life
|
Daddy was a gambler with a heavyhearted wife
|
The twilight wind blows her face
|
And that bronco engine moans
|
She is gonna make it on her own
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
That girl don't fake it
|
Give her rules shell break it
|
Shell love you on and on and shell be gone
|
Shes gonna make it on her own
|
Yea
|
|
Shes on her own yea
|
Mom lives down in Gretna working at the Oakwood mall
|
Hasn't seen her Alex since Katrina conquered all
|
She'll be in and out as fast as a hurricane is blown
|
She is gunna make it on her own
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Babys on her own yea
|
Go!
|
Oh Alex
|
I fantasize about a love she never had for me
|
She wouldnt marry him cuz she just wants her liberty
|
In 50 years I bet you'll see these
|
Words on her grave stone
|
"Heres a girl who made it on her own"
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
She's gonna make it on her own
|
|

On Her Own
