AKA Allentown on the water
The song is sung in the persona of an impoverished fisherman off Long Island and the surrounding waters who, like many of his fellow fishermen, is finding it increasingly hard to make ends meet and keep ownership of his boat, a type known as a downeaster.
The song was named for his boat, which in turn was named after his daughter Alexa Ray Joel

It’s similar in theme to Allentown, which about the shrinking opportunities for steelworkers…that’s what I meant
