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 some
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 some
friends in low places



I guess I was wrong
I still don`t belong
I`ve been there before
Everything`s all right

I`ll just say goodnight
And I`ll show
myself 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 now live in
Well now I`ve got some
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
Yeah `cause I`ve got some
friends in low places

Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases
my blues away
And I`ll be okay

Yeah now I`m not big
on social graces
Think I`ll slip on
down to the oasis

Oh I`ve got some friends
in low places
