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      Shes gunna make it on her own
