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 and i toasted you said honey we may be through but you ll never hear me complain cause i ve got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away and i ll be okay i m not big on social graces think i ll slip on down to the oasis oh 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 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 well i ll be as high as that ivory tower that you re livin in cause i ve got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away and i ll be okay 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 got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away and i ll be okay well i m not big on social graces think i ll slip on down to the oasis oh i got friends in low places  i got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away and i ll be okay well i m not big on social graces think i ll slip on down to the oasis oh i got friends in low places i got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away and i ll be okay1
