Friends In Low Places
¸ð˹²¼Â³¿Ë˹ Garth Brooks Lyrics

Blame it all on my roots
I'm sorry for standing out and making a scene

I showed up in boots
I came as myself and not the person you wanted me to be

And ruined your black tie affair
I disrupted your fancy event

The last one to know
I was the least informed

The last one to show
I was the latest to arrive

I was the last one
I was the very last person you expected to be there

You thought you'd see there
You were expecting someone else instead of me

And I saw the surprise
I noticed the shock in your face

And the fear in his eyes
I noticed how scared the other person was

When I took his glass of champagne
When I took the champagne from the other person

And I toasted you
I raised a glass to you

Said honey we may be through
I acknowledged that our relationship might be over

But you'll never hear me complain
But I won't ever complain about it

'Cause I've got friends in low places
I have friends who don't care about social status

Where the whiskey drowns
Where we drink a lot of whiskey

And the beer chases my blues away
And drinking beer helps me forget my problems

And I'll be okay
And I'll be alright

I'm not big on social graces
I don't really care about manners and etiquette

Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
I think I'll go to a more relaxed and comfortable environment

Oh I've got friends in low places
I have friends who are not from high society

Well I guess I was wrong
I admit that I messed up

I just don't belong
I don't fit in here

But then I've been there before
I've felt like an outsider before

Everything's all right
Everything is okay now

I'll just say goodnight
I'll just leave quietly

And I'll show myself to the door
And I'll leave on my own terms

Hey I didn't mean
I didn't intend

To cause a big scene
To make a fuss

Just give me an hour and then
Just let me go and I'll come back later

Well I'll be as high
I'll be as happy

As that ivory tower
As happy as someone who lives a luxury life

That you're livin' in
That you're privileged enough to enjoy

I've got friends in low places
I have friends who don't care about status

I've got friends in low places
I have friends who are from a lower social class

I've got friends in low places
I have friends who don't judge me based on social status

Where the whiskey drowns
Where we drink to forget our problems

And the beer chases my blues away
And drinking beer helps me forget my sadness

And I'll be okay
And I'll be alright

I'm not big on social graces
I don't really care about manners and etiquette

Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
I think I'll go somewhere more relaxed and comfortable

Oh I've got friends in low places
I have friends who aren't from high society

I've got friends in low places
I have friends who don't place importance on social status

Where the whiskey drowns
Where we drink a lot of whiskey

And the beer chases my blues away
And drinking beer helps me forget my problems

And I'll be okay
And I'll be alright

I'm not big on social graces
I don't really care about manners and etiquette

Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
I think I'll go to a more relaxed and comfortable environment

Oh I've got friends in low places
I have friends who are not from high society

I've got friends in low places
I have friends who are not high class

Where the whiskey drowns
Where we drink a lot of whiskey

And the beer chases my blues away
And drinking beer helps me forget my problems

And I'll be okay
And I'll be alright
