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 show, the last one to know.

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

'Cause, I've got friends in low places.

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

But then, I've been here before

Everything is 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'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

'Cause, I've got friends in low places.

Hey, I've got friends in low place
