[Verse 1]
Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And 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 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]
I got friends in low places
Where the whisky 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
[Verse 2]
Well I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's alright
I'll just say good night
And I'll show myself to the door
And 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
[Chorus]
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whisky drowns
And the beer chases my blues away (My blues away)
And I'll be okay (I'll be okay)
And I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down
To the oasis
Oh, I got friends (I got friends) in low places (Low places)
Well, I got friends in low places
Where the whisky drowns
And the beer chases my blues away (My blues away)
(Chase my blues away) And I'll be okay (I'll be okay)
Oh, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down
To the oasis
Oh, I got friends (I got friends) in low places (Friends in low places)
[Outro]
Yeah, (I got friends) I got friends in low places
I've got friends (I got friends) in low places
