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
