friends in low places
Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots And ruined your black tie affair The last one to show, the last one to know The last one you thought you'd see there I saw the surprise, and the fear in his eyes When I took his glass of champagne Then 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 there beer chases My blues away and I'll be OK Hey, I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the Oasis Oh I've got friends in low places  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 But give me an hour and then I'll be as high as this ivory tower That you're livin' in  'Cause I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and there beer chases My blues away and I'll be OK Hey, I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the Oasis Oh I've got friends in low places
