Billy Joel

Billy Joel
Drank a lot of take home pay.
Billy Joel

Billy Joel
You may never understand How the stranger is inspired For he is not always evil, And he is not always wrong.
Billy Joel
I've played all kinds of places, laid all kinds of girls.
Billy Joel
I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies, all I want is someone to believe.
Billy Joel
Every child had a pretty good shot, to get at least as far as their old man got. But something happened on the way to that place. They threw an American flag in our face.
Billy Joel
I guess some people in classical music can keep going until they kick (die) and the (Rolling) Stones are definitely pushing the envelope but I wonder if here's a time when you have to face whether you are as good as you used to be.
Billy Joel
I believe that all important matters have to be settled here, not in the clouds somewhere after we kick off.
Billy Joel
