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 livin' 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    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    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    I've got friends in low places  Where the whiskey drowns  And the beer chases my blues away  And I'll be okay...
