Friends in Low Places

Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair, yeah
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"

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away, ha, ha, ha, ha
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 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 livin' in

'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

Everybody!
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

What?

You guys
Already know what's comin', don't ya?

And you know what?
You're right
You're exactly right
What would a Garth live album be
Without the live version of Friends in Low Places?
Because it's only here, where you can find that mysterious third verse
That goes on the end of that song
But, does anybody know the words of that verse?
That's what I wanna know

Well, in that case, I think
The friends in low places should sing that third verse
This oughta be good
Alright, here we go

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 wait 'til I finish this glass
And sweet little lady
I'll head back to the bar
Give it to me!
And you can kiss my ass!

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away, yeah
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

Now it's all you guys!
I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away, yeah
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

Yeah!
Oh, 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
'Cause Honey, I've got friends in low places
