Song Lyrics #2

Friends In Low Places

By: Garth Brooks

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 

'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 

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 

'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 

[3rd Verse:]

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 

And you can kiss my ass
