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
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
I'm not big on social graces
I think I'll step on out
to the oasis
Cause I've got friends
in low places
Well I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But hey 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
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
I'm not big on social graces
I think I'll step on out
to the oasis
Cause I've got friends
in low places
I 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
I think I'll step on out
to the oasis
Cause I've got friends
in low places
I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the
beer chases
My blues away
And I'll be okay
And I'll be okay
