Owed T' Alex Lyrics
Stupid heart, cupid heart
Where will you go from here?
Magnetic ring, magnetic draw
Ooh, what you got me into?
I’m a wolf, chrome craw
Leavin’ you now
- I’ll write ya, ma
Takin’ a putt up to Carson City
Well, if you hear me howlin’
Wehell, sittin’ pretty
Tasted nitty gritty
Puttin’ on into Carson City
Sparks, tattoos, two tats and a toot
Helmets, crosses, and a patch to boot
Engine hot, pipes burn white
Glad I’m not home tonight
Five miles back I took a spill
- Thought I almost paid my bill
Makin’ my putt to Carson City
Party time with the Jones-by-name
Ah, it’s a shame
Say, it’s a pity
Gotta put outta Carson City
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Where will you go from here?
Magnetic ring, magnetic draw
Ooh, what you got me into?
I’m a wolf, chrome craw
Leavin’ you now
- I’ll write ya, ma
Wehell, sittin’ pretty
Tasted nitty gritty
Puttin’ on into Carson City
Helmets, crosses, and a patch to boot
Engine hot, pipes burn white
Glad I’m not home tonight
Five miles back I took a spill
- Thought I almost paid my bill
Ah, it’s a shame
Say, it’s a pity
Gotta put outta Carson City
Ha ha ha ha ha ha

looks like Alex was a biker who didnt make it out of Carson City. Where will you go from here? Don paints a word play picture of a night ride on a motorcyle.
Alex is based on Alex St Clair Snouffer (according to John French).
Herb Bermann wrote the words to this (and his name's in the brackets, just for a change!)
