(dewayne blackwell, bud lee)
Blame it all on my roots, i showed up in boots
and ruined your black tie affair
the last one to show, the last one to know
the last one you thought you��d see there
i saw the surprise, 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
Chorus
cause i��ve got friends in low places
where the whiskey drowns and there beer chases
my blues away and i��ll be ok
hey, 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 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
but give me an hour and then
i��ll be as high as this ivory tower
that you��re livin�� in
Repeat chorus
