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

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

Ooh, hoo
Uh, huh
Mm, hm
 
Anthony works in the grocery store
Saving his pennies for some day
Mama Leone left a note on the door
She said, Sonny, move out to the country.
Oh, but working too hard can give you a heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack
You ought to know by now (you ought to 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 moving up, then I'm movin' out
I'm movin' out, mmm, ooh, uh huh
 
Sergeant O'Leary is walking the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mr. Cacciatorre's down on Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
Yeah and he's trading in his Chevy for a Cadillac-ac-ac-ac-ac-ac
You ought to know by now (you ought to 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 moving up, then I'm movin' out
I'm movin' out, oh, ooh, uh huh
 
You should never argue with a crazy man-man-man-man-man
You ought to know by now (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 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, mmm, ooh, uh huh
 
I'm movin' out

Joel Billy - The River Of Dreams Lyrics

Joel Billy - The River Of Dreams Video

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
 
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
 
Even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
 
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
 
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole
 
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for
 
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
 
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night
 
I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is running to the promised land
 
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
 
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night
 
(I go walking in the middle of the...)
