Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
Ruined your black tie affair
Last one to know
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 got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
Oh, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the o-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 then I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Oh, I'll be as high as that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
Well, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the o-oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Yeah, I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer it chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
Oh, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the o-oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Yeah, I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer it chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
Oh, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the o-oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
