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" Workin' too hard can give you a heart attack You oughta know by now Who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that what you get with your money? It seems such a waste of time If that's what it's all about 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 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 It seems such a waste of time If that's what it's all about 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? It seems such a waste of time If that's what it's all about If that's movin' up then I'm movin' out
