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
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 whisky drowns and the beer chases
My blues away, and I'll be okay
Ah, 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 all right, I'll just say good night
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 got friends in low places
Where the whisky drowns and the beer chases
My blues away, and I'll be okay
Ah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to The Oasis
So I've got friends, in low places.
