Billy Joel - Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) Lyrics






Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for some day
Mama Leone left a note on the door
She said
"Sonny, move out to the country"

Oh but workin' too hard can give you a heart attack
You oughta know by now
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
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 movin' up, then I'm movin' out

Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatore's down on Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center

And he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac
You oughta know by now
And if he can't drive
With a broken back
At least he 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 should never argue with a crazy mind
You oughta 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 have in mind
Yeah, if that's what you're all about
Good luck, moving up, 'cause I'm movin' out

I'm movin' out

    I came her because I thought it was the song from family guy the Shazam episode

  3. C.... T....

    hard to believe he was in heavy metal band

  4. Q.... T....

    Who else came from family Guy?????

  9. F.... G....

    “N***a can’t drive with a broken back.” - Billy Joel

    F.... G....

    Hah! ...I'm pretty sure that's NOT what he says.....at least I hope not.

    F.... G....

    i dunno sounded like it to me homeboy

    F.... G....

    @Francisco Garcia REALLY!?!.....maybe you should check your racism at the door! The entire world is moving away from that old school crap, and you should join us.

    F.... G....

    He says “And if he can’t drive with a broken back”. But yeah it does sound like that

  10. O.... M....

    Vertreiben wir uns die Zeit mit einer Diskussion über Gurken und Tomaten 😉🍅🥒

    L.... D....

    Ich bin für Tomaten. Sie sind würzig und kommen aus Italien. Shaka!!🍌

    Gurken sind nur Wasser - laaangweilig!!

    Aus Tomaten lassen sich Saucen machen und so...

    Ich sag nur Pizza Margarita!!!

  12. L.... D....

    This song sounds like a mixture of "honesty" and "my life"

    Billy Joel, probably the only musician to realise how catchy '-ack' can be.

  51. l.... ....

    My favorite Daft Punk song.

  52. o.... ....

    Thank you for this heavenly song

  53. T.... F....

    “And that’s another thing”

  54. P.... ....

    i stg he says the n word near 1:30

  55. C.... G....

    This album is just ridiculously amazing. Hit after hit on it. Joel’s unreal.

  57. F.... H....

    dope song

  58. A.... E....

    *He protecc*
    *He attacc*
    *But importantly*
    *He get a heart attack acc acc acc acc acc*

  59. C.... W....

    Got into it with my mom 2 years ago, and I sampled the beat. I need someone to contact him so I can request permission. Pleeease?

  60. t.... a....

    Perfect guardians of the galaxy 3 track not sure if the time of release adds up but just saying

  61. I.... M....

  62. T.... B....

    I won this album when I was the winning phone call in one of those "be the 5th caller" promotions by a DFW radio station in 1977. I still have the album. And I was soooo in love with Richie Cannata :) And there he was, right on the back cover.
