Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)
Billy Joel
Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for someday
Mama Leone left a note on the door
She said, "Sonny, move out to the country"
Ah, but working too hard can give you a heart attack...
You ought to know by now
Who needs a house out in Hackinsack?
Is that all you get for your money?
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, if that's moving up, then I'm...
Movin' out
You and I are movin' out
Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beats
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mr. Caccatore's down on Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
Yeah, and he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac...
You ought to know by now
If you can't drive with a broken back
At least you can polish the fenders
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, if that's movin' up, then I'm...
Movin' out
You and I are movin' out
You should never argue with a crazy mind...
You ought to know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money?
And if that's what you had in mind
Yeah, that's what you're all about
Good luck movin' up cause I'm...
Movin' out
You and I are movin' out
(I'm movin' out)
