(BILLY)
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
(RAY)
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)
(BILLY)
I've had friends
but they've slipped away
(RAY)
I've had fame
but it doesn't stay
(BILLY)
I've made fortunes
spent them fast enough
(RAY)
as for women
they don't last with just one man
but my baby grand
is gonna stand by me
(BILLY)
Oh, they say that no one's gonna play this on the radio
(what? I don't believe that...)
they said the melancholy blues were dead and gone
(RAY)
but only songs like these
played in minor keys
keep those memories holding on
(BILLY)
I've come far
from the life I strayed in
(RAY)
I've got the scars
from those dives I played in
(BILLY)
now I'm home
and I'm weary
(RAY)
and in my bones
every dreary one night stand
but my baby grand
is coming home with me
(BILLY)
ever since this gig began
my baby grand's been good to me
