Lyrics for Song: Piano Fighter
Lyrics for Album: Learning To Flinch [1993]
"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
