I was driving-around today, enjoying an afternoon off, contemplating which brunch option was the most attractive... when I get a call from an old employer, looking for immediate help on a semi-lucrative project. ..... I'm trying to decide if I want to trade my scheduled leisure for some money, when the iconic Billy Joel starts singing Moving Out 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 respectfully declined the labor, and I've been smiling ever since. ------ Post poignant lyrics/songs ITT
