Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
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
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But
you'll never hear me complain

[Chorus]
'Cause I've 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've 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 all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in

[Chorus]
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
And I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
Well, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I got friends in low places
