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 suprise and the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
Then I toasted you said honey we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain
'Cause I got friends in low places
where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And i'll be OK
Yeah, i'm not big on social graces think i'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I got friends, in low places
I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong
Then, I been there before
Everything's all right and i'll just say goodnight
And i'll show myself to the door
Now I didn't mean to 'cause a big scene, just give me an hour and then
I'll be as high as that ivory tower, you're livin' in
