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 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 OK. And I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis So 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, Well I'll be as high as that ivory tower that you're living in (Repeat Chorus Twice) 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 good night And I'll show myself to the door Hey, I didn't mean To cause a big scene Just wait 'till I finish this glass Then sweet little lady I'll head back to the bar And you can kiss my ass (Repeat Chorus Out)
