Blame it all on my rootsI showed up in bootsAnd ruined your black tie affairThe
last one to knowThe last one to showI was the last oneYou thought you'd see
thereAnd I saw the surpriseAnd the fear in his eyesWhen I took his glass of
champagneAnd I toasted youSaid, honey, we may be throughBut you'll never hear
me complain
Cause I've got friends in low placesWhere the whiskey drownsAnd the beer chases
my blues awayAnd I'll be okayI'm not big on social gracesThink I'll slip on down
to the oasisOh, I've got friends in low places
Well, I guess I was wrongI just don't belongBut then, I've been there
beforeEverything's all rightI'll just say goodnightAnd I'll show myself to the
doorHey, I didn't meanTo cause a big sceneJust give me an hour and thenWell,
I'll be as highAs that ivory towerThat you're livin' in
Cause I've got friends in low placesWhere the whiskey drownsAnd the beer chases
my blues awayAnd I'll be okayI'm not big on social gracesThink I'll slip on down
to the oasisOh, I've got friends in low places
3rd Verse:I guess I was wrongI just don't belongBut then, I've been there
beforeAnd everything is alrightI'll just say goodnightAnd I'll show myself to
the doorI didn't mean to cause a big sceneJust wait 'til I finish this
glassThen sweet little ladyI'll head back to the barAnd you can kiss my ass
