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 champange

And I toasted you, said "Honey we may be through,

But you'll never hear me complain...



chorus:

Cause I got friends in low places

Where the wiskey drowns

and the beer chases my blues away

And I'll be ok.

Well, I'm not big on social graces

think I'll slip on down to the oaisis

oh, I've got friends in Low places



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 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,

I'll be as high as that ivory tower

that you're living in



chorus
