It was a Monday night, I was killing time
You were sitting 'bout five seats down
With your hair pulled back, all dressed in black
You stood out in this crowd
After my first drink, I did the right thing
And slid about three seats over
You looked my way as if to say
"It's okay, boy, move a little closer"
And I said
I'm an Old Fashioned, you're a Manhattan
Sitting in a smoky downtown bar
Have you ever been to LA, drove across the country
In some car that barely starts?
There's a shine in your eye telling me that you might
Just want me to take you home
At the same time, girl, I ain't got no expectations
These are just cocktail conversations
Oh, yeah
You asked me where I was from and why I got that Elvis tattoo
I said my old man is an Elvis fan and my granddad was one too
I asked you why a girl like you was in here on your own
You smiled and winked, took a sip of my drink and said
"Boy, I ain't here alone"
'Cause you're an Old Fashioned, I'm a Manhattan
Sitting in a smoky downtown bar
I've never been to LA or drove across the country
I don't need to see the stars
There's a shine in your eye telling me that you might
Just want to take me home
At the same time, boy, I ain't got no expectations
These are just cocktail conversations
Oh
Cocktail conversations
Oh, there's no telling where this might lead
Oh, I know it brought you here to me
'Cause I'm an Old Fashioned, you're a Manhattan
Sitting in a smoky downtown bar
You ever been to LA, drove across the country
In some car that barely starts?
There's a shine in your eye telling me that you might
Just want me to take you home
At the same time girl I ain't got no expectations
These are just cocktail conversations
Oh
Cocktail conversations
Oh
Cocktail conversations
Oh, oh
