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
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
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 I'll show
Myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour
And then
Well, 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
Oh, I've got friends
In low places
I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've
Been there before
And everything is all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself
To the door
I didn't mean to
Cause a big scene
Just wait 'til I
Finish this glass
Then sweet little lady
I'll head back to the bar
And you can kiss my as*
