Drank a lot of take home pay.
Billy Joel
Image
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in / There's an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and gin / He says, 'Son, can you play me a memory?/ I'm not really sure how it goes / But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes.'
Billy Joel
Image
Your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation.
Billy Joel

And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts... Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they're for.
Billy Joel

You can speak your mind But not on my time.
Billy Joel
Image
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew, but I can't walk away from you.
