[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 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

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

Hell, I'm not big on social graces

Think I'll slip on down to the Oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places


[Chorus]

Everybody

'Cause I've got friends in low places

Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases

My blues away and I'll be okay

Hell, I'm not big on social graces

Think I'll slip on down to the Oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places


[Break]

Now that' we're off the radio we can do this last verse right


[Verse 3]

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

I didn't mean to cause a big scene

Just wait 'til I finish this glass

Then sweet little lady I'll head back to the bar

Help me out now

And you can kiss my ass


[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

Now it's all you guys, let me hear it, okay?

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

Honey, I've got friends in low places


[Outro]

God bless you guys

Thanks a lot
