VERSE:
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
I toasted you said honey we may be through
But you’ll never hear me complain

CHORUS:
     ‘Cause I 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

     I think I’ll step on out to the oasis
     ‘Cause I’ve got friends in low places

VERSE:
Well I guess I was wrong
I just don’t belong
But hey, I’ve been there before
Everything’s all right, I’ll just say goodnight
& I’ll show myself to 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’re livin’ in

CHORUS:

     ‘Cause I 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

     I think I’ll step on out to the oasis
     ‘Cause I’ve got friends in low places
