My new band I'm in is trying to make a set list of all songs that we write. I've been working on one for a few days now and can't get off the Second verse and would like some help. It's a rocking tune kinda like " just a swinging " by john Anderson with that echord.

Here is a little of what I got

She was staring at me from across the room
So I walked on over flashed her a smile

I can't finish that line :/ can anyone help me?

She was staring at me from across the room
So I walked on over flashed her a smile
She took a good look at my F5G
Then she passed me a card with a number to dial

Or how about:
She was staring at me from across the room
So I walked on over flashed her a smile
She told me her name was Annalee
So I bought her a drink and we talked for a while
(Been wanting to use that name in a lyric for years!)

Maybe:
I was never a believer in first impressions
But something about her made me stay for a while

She was staring at me from across the room
So I walked on over flashed her a smile
She took a good look at my F5G
And adjusted my nut action with her nail file

Luthier woman! She's never lazy
Luthier woman! Her inlay drives me crazy!

She was staring at me from across the room
So I walked on over flashed her a smile
From across the room she rolled her eyes at me
So I rolled them back for all to see.

I must admit I was taken by her style
or
sure was hoping for a number to dial
or
she sure stood out from the rank and file
or
didn't think I had a chance was I in denial?
or
I knew this was gonna be more than a trial
or
if I had any money I'd have given her a pile ( well that line should come after the part about the eventual divorce)

Well I used Anna Lou. This is what I got

She was staring at me from across room.
Walked on over spin her around, she said her name was Anna Lou.

Now on to the next verse if I can think of it

Late joining the writers party :)



Now on to the next verse if I can think of it

"She was staring at me
Woohoo....across the room
Cool girl staring at me
Across a country mile
"How do you do?!"
Up I came
To Anna Lou
That sweet ol'
Anna Lou
Hey honey
You put my name on file"








PS - I failed poetry and romance in high school :D
