verse1 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
chorus Coz I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Now I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
So I've got friends in low places
turnaround A / / / Bm E A
verse2 Well I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong 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 I'll be as high as that ivory tower That you're livin' in
chorus (repeat till you get blue in the face)
