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
