-- OR -- 
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 youd 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 youll never hear me complain
Cause Ive got friends in low places ... where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away ... and Ill be okay
Im not big on social graces think Ill slip on down to the oasis
Oh, Ive got friends ... in low places
Well, I guess I was wrong ... I just dont belong ... but then, Ive been there before
Everythings all right ... Ill just say goodnight and Ill show myself to the door
Hey, I didnt mean ... to cause a big scene .. just give me an hour and then
Well, Ill be as high as that ivory tower ... that youre livin in
Cause I got friends in low places ... where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away ... and Ill be okay
Im not big on social graces think Ill slip on down to the oasis
Oh, Ive got friends ... in low places
Cause Ive got friends in low places ... where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away ... and Ill be okay
Im not big on social graces think Ill slip on down to the oasis
Oh, Ive got friends ... in low places
