Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair.
Last one to know, 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.
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
