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[
