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 low rider
Hold me tight honey hold me tighter
Then let me go Piano Fighter
Let me go Piano Fighter
Break
Verse
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 low rider
Hold me tight honey hold me tighter
Then let me go Piano Fighter
Let me go Piano Fighter
Bridge
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
I ain't going down that long lonesome road
Ain't going down that long lonesome roooooad
Break
Verse
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 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
Let me go Piano Fighter
Someone called Piano Fighter
I'm a holy roller I'm a real low rider
Hold me tight honey hold me tighter
Then let me go Piano Fighter
Let me go Piano Fighter
