Friends In Low Places Lyrics - Mark Chesnutt

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 

'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 

'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
