Late at night when it's dark and cold I reach out for someone to hold When I'm blue, when I'm lonely She comes through
She's the only one who can My baby grand is all I need In my time I've wandered everywhere Around this world, she would always be there Any day, any hour All it takes
Is the power in my hands This baby grand's been good to me Alright?
(Alright)
I've had friends, oh, but they've slipped away And I've had fame, but it doesn't stay I've made fortunes, spent them fast enough As for women
They don't last with just one man But my baby grand is gonna stand by me
Oh, they say that no one's gonna play this on the radio (What? I don't believe that) They said melancholy blues were dead and gone But only songs like these, played in minor keys Keep those memories holding on
I've come far from the life I strayed in And I've got the scars from those dives I played in
Now I'm home and I'm weary And in my bones
Every dreary one night stand My baby grand is coming home with me, with me Ever since this gig began My baby grand's been good to me
