Friends In Low Places
Written by - 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 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 good night 
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

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 good bye
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just wait til I finish this glass
Sweet little lady 
I'll be back at the bar
And you can kiss my ass

Chorus (2 x's)
