Lyrics
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 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, no one's gonna play this on the radio
Well, I don't believe that, oh, believe it, Ray
They said the 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've played in
Now I'm home
And I'm weary
In my bones
Every dreary one-night stand
And my baby grand
Is coming home with me, with me
Ever since this gig began
My baby grand's
Been good to me
