friends in low places long

Garth Brooks

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

(chorus)
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

*chorus*

(THIRD VERSE)
I guess I was wrong
I just don t belong
But then, I ve been there before
And everything is alright
I ll just say goodnight
And I ll show myself to the door
I didn t mean to cause a big scene
Just wait til I finish this glass
Then sweet little lady
I ll head back to the bar
And you can kiss my ass
