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
I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne

I toasted you
Said, "Honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain"

Yeah, 'cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
My blues away, and I'll be okay
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
'Cause I've got friends in low places

I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been here before

Everything is alright
I'll just say goodnight
And I show myself to the door
Now I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
I'll be as high as that ivory tower
That you're livin' in

Yeah, 'cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
My blues away, and I'll be okay
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
'Cause I've got friends in low places

Yeah, I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
My blues away, and I'll be okay
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
'Cause I've got friends in low places

Yeah, I've got friends in low places
