Roman Alexander - Cocktail Conversations
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
Its 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 arе just cocktail conversations
Oh oh yeah
You asked mе where I was from
And why I got that Elvis tattoo
I said my ole 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 oh
Cocktail conversations
Oh there's no telling where this might lead
But 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 oh
Cocktail conversations
Oh oh
Cocktail conversations
Oh oh

Biography
Now in his early 20s, Alexander has nearly two decades of performing. The first songs he learned on guitar were “Ring of Fire” and “Folsom Prison Blues,” thanks to a childhood love of Johnny Cash. His mother’s love for of Elvis Presley was also influential and you can hear the clever references to the King in his songs.
Alexander moved to Nashville to get his music heard. He posted his performances and gained a strong following, which led to him signing a publishing and development deal with Twelve 6 Entertainment. He began working with Jerry Flowers, a top writer in Nashville and Keith Urban’s bandleader, on refining his songwriting and elevating his live show.
Alexander’s new single “Cocktail Conversations” addresses new romance. You’ll pick up on the understated qualities of the lyrics and melodies. There’s an easy confidence born out of playing onstage for years.
“I just want to cut the best songs, whether they’re mine or not,” Alexander says. “If I happen to be able to write it, that’s great, but we’re in Nashville, so there are so many great songs out there.”
