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
"Friends in Low Places" are great when you're out honky tonkin' with buddies at the local watering hole with your Justin ropers and Stetson 5X felt. But when you're trying to build your business it pays to have friends in high places.
