Piano Fighter Lyrics

Piano Fighter lyrics

written by Warren Zevon 1993 Zevon Music BMI
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, Jim
Someone called
Piano Fighter
I'm a holy roller, I'm a real lowrider
Hold me tight,
honey, hold me tighter
Then let me go, Piano Fighter
I 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 highway
Someone called
Piano Fighter
I'm a holy roller, I'm a real lowrider
Hold me tight,
honey, hold me tighter
Then let me go, Piano Fighter
Maybe I'll go to
Reno
Nobody knows my name
I'll play Claire de Lune in a quiet
saloon
Steady work for a change
Ain't going down that long, lonesome
road
Ain't going down that long, lonesome road
Got in trouble down in New
Orleans
I must admit that I was strung out, painted 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 tighter
Then 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 tighter
Then let me go, Piano
Fighter
