"Friends In Low Places" lyrics

"Friends In Low Places"

Blame it all on my roots
Showed up in boots
Ruined your black tie affair

Last one to know
Last one to show
I was the last one you thought you'd see there

I saw the surprise
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!"
Oh

'Cause I got friends in, low, low places
Whiskey drowns and, the beer it chases my blues
Away

Oh, and I'm not big on social graces
They gonna slip on down to yo-o-oasis
Oh, 'cause I've got friends
I've got friends
Low, low, low places

Guess I was wrong
Just don't belong
Hey, I've been there before
Thing's are right
Just say goodnight
And show myself to the door

Yeah I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Give me an hour and then
I'll be as high as that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
Oh

'Cause I've got friends in low, low places
The whiskey drowns and, the beer it chases my blues
Away

Oh, and I'm not big on social graces
They gonna slip on down to yo-o-oasis
Oh, 'cause I've got friends
Yeah, I've got friends
Low, low, low places
