Garth Brooks - Friends in Low Places (LONG) lyrics

rate me

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

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 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)

Well, 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

Hey 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

*chorus*
