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 youd see there

And I saw the surprise

And the fear in his eyes

When I took this glass of champagne

And I toasted you

Said, honey, we may be through

But youll never hear me complain



CHORUS:

Cause Ive got friends in low places

Where the Jack Daniels drowns

And the Coors Light chases my blues away

And Ill be okay

Im not big on social graces

Think Ill slip on down to the oasis

Oh Ive got friends in low places



Well, I guess I was wrong

I just dont belong

But then, Ive been there before

Everythings all right

Ill just say goodnight

And show myself to the door

Hey, I didnt mean

To cause a big scene

Just give me an hour and then

Well, Ill be as high

As that ivory tower

That youre livin in



(REPEAT CHORUS)



Ive got friends in low places

Where the Jack Daniels drowns

And the Coors Light chases my blues away

And Ill be okay

Im not big on social graces

Think Ill slip on down to the oasis

Oh Ive got friends in low places



Well I guess I was wrong

I just don't belong

But then, I've been there before

And everything is alright

I'll just say goodnight

And I'll show myself to the door

Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene

Just wait 'til I've finished this glass

Then sweet little lady

I'll head back to the bar

And you can kiss my ass!



Ive got friends in low places

Where the Jack Daniels drowns

And the Coors light chases my blues away

And Ill be okay

Im not
