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
