Alexis, thank you for a pleasant southern day
Spent on the levy throwin' pennies in the bay
And talkin 'bout the rich folks
On the big boats that pass that way
You were just a young girl
I just could not stay
Alexis, I can't remember how we met back then
Was on my way to Atlanta, now I'm on that road again
Not really poor, had money just not to spend
You were just a young girl, and I was in need of a friend
Alexis, you always used to talk about
Leavin your hometown, headin on south
Maybe down to New Orleans
And you wanted me to help you out
But you were just a young girl
And I was just a hobo... that had my doubts
Alexis, I did not want to... want to leave you there
Sometimes this life we lead is so unfair
I wanted to take you with me
But I did not dare
You were just a young girl and I could not pay your fare
Alexis, you always used to talk about
Leavin your hometown, headin on south
Maybe down to New Orleans
And you wanted me to help you out
But you were just a young girl
And I was just a hobo... that had my doubts
I had my doubts
Tommy Bolin (1951-1976) was an American guitarist considered one of the most talented and influential of his time. Born in Sioux City, Iowa, he began playing guitar at age 10, showing natural talent from the start. After playing in several local bands, he moved to Los Angeles in 1972 to pursue a more ambitious musical career. During his short but intense career, Bolin collaborated with artists like James Gang and Deep Purple, helping define the hard rock sound of the 1970s. His guitar technique was characterized by a blend of bluesy virtuosity and progressive influences, with a strong emphasis on improvisation. Among his most representative songs are "Post Toastie", "The Road Goes On Forever" and "Smoke on the Water". Sadly, his career was cut short by a heroin overdose in 1976 at the age of 25. Bolin's death left an unfillable void in the rock music scene.
