VERSE:
A
Blame it all on my roots
e dim
I showed up in boots
b
And ruined your black tie affair
e
The last one to know, the last one to show
A
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
A
And I saw the surprise
e dim
And the fear in his eyes
b
When I took his glass of champagne
e
I toasted you said honey we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain
CHORUS:
A
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
b
My blues away
e
And I'll be okay
A
I'm not big on social graces
I think I'll step on out to the oasis
b e
'Cause I've got friends in low places
VERSE:
Well I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But hey, I've been there before
Everything's all right, I'll just say goodnight
& I'll show myself to the door
Hey 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
That you're livin' in
CHORUS
