D               Bm
Good Old Alexandra
A                    G
Left her man last night
D            Bm
Off to Louisiana
A                 G
New Orleans in sight
D           Bm          A                  G
Her determination went right down to her bone
D            G       A      G-A-G         D   
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:
                G       A
That girl don't fake it
                           D
Give her a rule and she'll break it
                G             A                Bm  A  Bm
She'll love you on and on and then she'll be gone
            G     D-A        D
She's gonna make it on her own


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
 
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
