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 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 {{wpi|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 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

I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey 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 oasis
So I've got friends
In low places

I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey 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 oasis
So I've got friends
In low places

I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
My blues away, and I'll be OK
