It Started with a Riff

Sitting on my own on a Saturday night
While my friends were out having a good time
Just me and my guitar for some company
And my second cheap bottle of wine
That song didn't wanna be written
I tried every trick I knew
Defeat was round the corner
When it came from out of the blue

It started with a riff
Just a simple riff with some attitude
It started with a riff
Just the right feel and just the right mood
It started with a riff
A riff like that is so hard to find
It started with a riff

A few days later I was out on a gig
In a bar on the right side of town
I was singing and playing my heart out
But it just wasn't going down
There was a girl sitting in the corner
Laughing with her friends
I was trying to get her attention
And when I did it just came and went

It started with a riff
Just a simple riff with some attitude
It started with a riff
Just the right feel and just the right mood
It started with a riff
A riff like that is so hard to find
It started with a riff

There was only one thing I had left to try
So I started picking out that riff
The bar went deathly quiet
While I was giving it all I could give
From then I couldn't do no wrong
I found a place in their hearts
Now me and that girl are still dating
And that riff's hit the top of the charts

It started with a riff
Just a simple riff with some attitude
It started with a riff
Just the right feel and just the right mood
It started with a riff
A riff like that is so hard to find
It started with a riff
