SONG:Friends In Low Places

(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 show, the last one to know
the last one you thought you¡¯d see there
i saw the surprise, and the fear in his eyes
when i took his glass of champagne
then 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 there beer chases
my blues away and i¡¯ll be ok
hey, 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 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
but give me an hour and then
i¡¯ll be as high as this ivory tower
that you¡¯re livin¡¯ in
Repeat chorus
