(warren zevon)
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 |
