"Movin' Out" is a song by the American hard rock band, Aerosmith. It was the first in the songwriting partnership of Steven Tyler and Joe Perry,[1] and was the seventh song on Aerosmith's first album, Aerosmith. Built on a guitar lick played by Perry, "Movin' Out" was recorded on a water bed at the band's apartment,[2] 1325 Commonwealth Avenue. The track appeared on Aerosmith's live compilation, Classics Live! Vol. 2 (1987). An alternative version of the song appears on the band's box set Pandora's Box. The song was re-recorded in 2007 for Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.[3]
