"Friends In Low Places" lyrics

Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots
And ruined your black-tie affair
The last one to know, I was the last one to show
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise, the fear in his eyes
As I took his glass of champagne
I toasted you said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain

'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
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I got friends in low places

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
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 living in

'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
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I got friends in low places
Come on, Shipsawanna, let me hear you all

I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
Come on, y'all sound great
I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I got friends
Yeah, I got friends
Mmm, I got friends in low places
I got friends in low places
Oh yeah
