Piano Fighter (Live) Lyrics by Warren Zevon

Learning to Flinch (Live)

1993

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
Let me go, piano fighter

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
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
Ain't going down that long, lonesome road
I ain't going down that long, lonesome road, no

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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 lowrider
Hold me tight, honey, hold me tighter
Then let me go, piano fighter
Let me go, piano fighter
