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 living 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
