An Innocent Man is the ninth studio album by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel, released on August 8, 1983. The concept album is a tribute to the American popular music of Joel's teenage years with Joel paying homage to a number of different popular American musical styles from the late 1950s and early 1960s, most notably doo-wop and soul music. The album cover artwork was taken on the front steps of 142 Mercer Street, just north of the intersection of Mercer and Prince Street in the SoHo neighborhood in New York City.

Easy Money
Billy Joel Lyrics
You don't have to talk all night
I'm a man who can't say no
You don't have to twist my arm
Just point me where you want to go
Take me to the action
Take me to the track
Take me to a party if they're bettin' in the back
I've been working all my life
Can't afford to wait
Let me call my wife so I can tell her I'll be late
I want the easy
Easy money
Easy money
I could get lucky
Oh, things could go right
I want the easy
Easy money
Easy money
Maybe this one time
Maybe tonight
You don't have to try too hard
I don't need a song and dance
I don't need an invitation
If you've got a game of chance
Take me to the tables
Take me to the fights
Run me like the numbers
Roll me like the dice
When you're counting on a killing
Always count me in
Talk me into losin' just as long as I can win
I want the easy
Easy money
Easy money
I want the good times
Oh, I never had
I want the easy
Easy money
I want the good life
I want it bad
Easy money
You say I fool myself
But better me than being a fool for someone else
I got a hot slot machine of a system
Ready to go
Easy money
I got a one-track mind
And a good reputation laying on the line
I'll either come back a bum or a king
Baby I don't know
You don't have to start a fight
I'm a man who can't say no
If you've got a little risky business
Just point me where you want to go
Take me to the power
Take me to the heat
Take me to the cleaners
If it's open to the street
Something's got to pay off
Something's got to break
Someone's got a fortune that they're begging
Me to take
I want the easy
Easy money
Easy money
I could get lucky
Things could go right
I want the easy
Easy money
Easy money
Maybe just this time
Oh maybe tonight
Easy money
Oh I don't want no hard cash
I just want the easy money
I could get lucky

I always loved this album, it's a good listen beginning to end. Nothing like a great horn section and a sax.....you don't hear that in modern music anymore!
Condor Southernlands
He always loved having the funnest songs on the first track of his albums. Very few artists care about the order they’re played.🤘

Kief L People like this are the best,
That's What I'm Talking About
Great song that was a perfect fit for the movie "Easy Money." I think this album was a showcase not only for Billy Joel's songwriting craft ,but also for his extraordinary skills as a pianist and vocalist. One of the best albums of the early eighties.

It does! I love this album. Tell Her About It is one of my favorite songs of his. Easy Money has something special about it too. But I got three of his records (used and really cheap from my local record store but still great quality), and it was one of my best buys lol.

@ACS Shap I've always held the opinion that his voice was at its peak for the Innocent Man album, and I wouldn't say his piano skills peaked at turnstiles, but I feel like thats the album where theyre most expressed.
