Warren Zevon - Piano Fighter lyrics

"Mama and Papa bought a Chickering

Everyday I'd sit and play that thing

I practiced hard, it was more than a whim

I played with grim determination Jim

Someone called Piano fighter

I'm a holy roller, I'm a real lowrider

Hold me tight, honey, hold me tight

Then let me go, Piano fighter

Let me go, Piano fighter

I worked in seesion and I played in bands

A thousand casuals and one-night stands

Here on Thursday, gone on Fridays

Heading down the Dixie Highway

Someone called Piano fighter

I'm a holy roller, I'm a real lowrider

Hold me tight, honey, hold me tight

Then let me go, Piano fighter

Let me go, Piano Fighter

Maybe I'll go to Reno

Nobody knows my name

I'll play Claie de Lune in a quiet saloon

Steady work for a change

Ain't going down that long, lonsome road

Ain't going down that long, lonsome road

I cut a single and it made the charts

I took the money and I played my part

Got in trouble down in New Orleans

I must admit I that I was strung out,

pianted in the corner of a limousine

Someone called Piano fighter

I'm a thin ice walker, I'm a freelance writer

Hold me tight, honey, hold me tight

Then let me go, Piano fighter

Let me go, Piano fighter

Someone called Piano fighter

I'm a holy roller, I'm a real lowrider

Hold me tight, honey, hold me tight

Then let me go, Piano fighter

Let me go, Piano Fighter
