Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in bootsAnd ruined your black tie affairThe last one to know, the last one to showI was the last one you thought you’d see thereAnd I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyesWhen I took his glass of champagneAnd I toasted you, said, “Honey, we may be throughBut you’ll never hear me complain”‘Cause I’ve got friends in low placesWhere the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues awayAnd I’ll be OKYeah, I’m not big on social gracesThink I’ll slip on down to the oasisOh, I’ve got friends in low placesWell, I guess I was wrong, I just don’t belongBut then I’ve been there beforeEverything’s all right, I’ll just say good nightAnd I’ll show myself to the doorHey, I didn’t mean to cause a big sceneJust give me an hour and thenWell, I’ll be as high as that ivory towerThat you’re livin’ in‘Cause I’ve got friends in low placesWhere the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues awayAnd I’ll be OKYeah, I’m not big on social gracesThink I’ll slip on down to the oasisOh, I’ve got friends in low placesOh, I’ve got friends in low placesWhere the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues awayAnd I’ll be OKYeah, I’m not big on social gracesThink I’ll slip on down to the oasisOh, I’ve got friends in low placesYeah, I’ve got friends in low placesWhere the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues awayAnd I’ll be OKYeah, I’m not big on social gracesThink I’ll slip on down to the oasisOh, I’ve got friends in low placesYeah, I’ve got friends in low placesWhere the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues awayAnd I’ll be OK
