Friends in Low Places

Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots

And ruined your black tie affair

The last one to know, the last one to show

I was the last one you thought you'd see there

And I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes

When I took his glass of champagne and I toasted you

Said, "Honey, we may be through

But you'll never hear me complain"

'Cause I've got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns

And the beer chases my blues away and I'll be okay

I'm not big on social graces, think I'll slip on down to the oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places

Well, I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong

But then, I've been there before

Everything's all right, I'll just say goodnight

And I'll show myself to the door

Hey, I didn't mean to cause a big scene

Just give me an hour and then

Well I'll be as high as that ivory tower

That you're livin' in

'Cause I've got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns

And the beer chases my blues away and I'll be okay

I'm not big on social graces, think I'll slip on down to the oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places

I've got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns

And the beer chases my blues away and I'll be okay

I'm not big on social graces, think I'll slip on down to the oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places

I've got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns

And the beer chases my blues away and I'll be okay

I'm not big on social graces, think I'll slip on down to the oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places

I've got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns

And the beer chases my blues away and I'll be okay
