Intro :
Blame it
all on my roots
I sh
owed up in boots
And r
uined your black tie affair
The l ast one to know, the l
ast 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 t ook his glass of cha
mpagne
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
I think I'll slip on down to the oasis
'Cause I've got fri ends in low pla
ces
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
'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 slip on down to the oasis
'Cause I've got frien ds in low pl
