Piano Fighter Lyrics

Mom and Papa bought a Chickering
Every day I'd sit and play that thing
I practiced hard, it was more than a whim
I played with grim determination, JimSomeone called Piano Fighter
I'm a holy roller, I'm a real low rider
Hold me tight, honey, hold me tighter
Then let me go, Piano FighterI worked in sessions and I played in bands
A thousand casuals and one night stands
Here on Thursday, gone on Friday
Heading down the Dixie highwaySomeone called Piano Fighter
I'm a holy roller, I'm a real low rider
Hold me tight, honey, hold me tighter
Then let me go, Piano FighterMaybe I'll go to Reno
Nobody knows my name
I'll play Claire de Lune in a quiet saloonSteady work for a change
Ain't going down that long, lonesome road
Ain't going down that long, lonesome roadGot in trouble down in New Orleans
I must admit that I was strung out

Painted in the corner of a limousineSomeone called Piano Fighter
I'm a thin ice walker, I'm a freelance writer
Hold me tight, honey, hold me tighter
Then let me go, Piano FighterSomeone called Piano Fighter
I'm a holy roller, I'm a real low rider
Hold me tight, honey, hold me tighter
Then let me go, Piano Fighter
