"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

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

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
And 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 low rider
Hold me tight, honey
Hold me tighter
Then let me go
Piano Fighter

Then let me go
Piano Fighter..."
