Lyrics “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 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 OK Yeah, 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 good night 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 OK Yeah, I’m not big on social graces Think I’ll slip on down to the oasis Oh, I’ve got friends in low places
Oh, I’ve got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away And I’ll be OK Yeah, 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, I’ve got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away And I’ll be OK Yeah, 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, I’ve got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away And I’ll be OK
