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 youÔÇÖd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took this glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But youÔÇÖll never hear me complain
CHORUS:
ÔÇÿCause IÔÇÖve got friends in low places
Where the Whiskey drowns
And the Beer chases my blues away
And IÔÇÖll be okay
IÔÇÖm not big on social graces
Think IÔÇÖll slip on down to the oasis
Oh IÔÇÖve got friends in low places
Well, I guess I was wrong
I just donÔÇÖt belong
But then, IÔÇÖve been there before
EverythingÔÇÖs all right
IÔÇÖll just say goodnight
And show myself to the door
Hey, I didnÔÇÖt mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, IÔÇÖll be as high
As that ivory tower
That youÔÇÖre livinÔÇÖ in
(REPEAT CHORUS)
IÔÇÖve got friends in low places
Where the Whiskey drowns
And the Beer chases my blues away
And IÔÇÖll be okay
IÔÇÖm not big on social graces
Think IÔÇÖll slip on down to the oasis
Oh IÔÇÖve got friends in low places
Well I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
And everything is alright
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just wait 'til I've finished this glass
Then sweet little lady
I'll head back to the bar
And you can kiss my ass!
IÔÇÖve got friends in low places
Where the Whiskey drowns
And the Beer chases my blues away
And IÔÇÖll be okay
IÔÇÖm not big on social graces
Think IÔÇÖll slip on down to the oasis
Oh IÔÇÖve got friends in low places
(REPEAT 2 TIMES)
