Garth Brooks - Friends in Low Places Lyrics

Complimentary "Friends in Low Places" Ringtone

Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots 
And ruined your black-tie affair 
Last one to know, 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 
And I'm not big on social graces 
Think I'll slip on down to The Oasis 
So 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 alright, 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 living in 

[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 
And I'm not big on social graces 
Think I'll slip on down to The Oasis 
So I've got friends in low places 



(Alternate last verse as performed by Garth live,
for the most part just don't bother with it.) 

Well I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong 
But then, I've been there before 
Everything's 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 'till I finish this glass 
Then sweet little baby I'll go back to the bar 
And you can kiss my ass!
