Billy Joel “Big Man On Mulberry Street" live from A Matter of Trust - The Bridge to Russia

In the summer of 1987, Billy Joel accepted the Kremlin’s invitation to the U.S.S.R. for six fully-staged rock shows in Moscow and Leningrad, fulfilling a longtime desire to perform in Russia and permanently affecting the spirit of the country ahead of the Soviet Union’s dissolution in 1991.

Lyrics:

Why can't I lay low

Why can't I say what I mean

Why don't I stay home

And get myself into some boring routine

Why can't I calm down

Why is it always a fight

I can't get unwound

Why do I throw myself into the night

I'm on the outside

I don't fit into the groove

Now I ain't a bad guy

So tell me what am I trying to prove

Why can't I cool out

Why don't I button my lip

Why do I lash out

Why is it I always shoot from the hip

I cruise from Houston to canal street

A misfit and a rebel

I see the winds talking to themselves

And I can understand

Why is it everytime I go out

I always seem to get in trouble

I guess I made an impression on somebody

North of Hester and south of grand

And so in my small way

I'm a big man on Mulberry street

I don't mean all day

Only at night when I'm light on my feet

What else have I got

That I'd be trying to hide

Maybe a blind spot

I haven't seen from the sensitive side

But you know in my own heart

I'm a big man on Mulberry street

I play the whole part

I leave a big tip with every receipt

I'm so romantic

I'm such a passionate man

Sometimes I panic

What if nobody finds out who I am
