Friends In Low Places (Long Version)

Garth Brooks

Blame it all on my roots 
I showed up in boots 
And ruined your black tie affair 
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 
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 
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK) 
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 
(SPOKEN) 
(Pause) 
What?!?! 
(Pause) 
You guys... already know what's comin', don't ya? 
And ya 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 to 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 outta be good. 
Alright, here we go... 
(SUNG BY CROWD) 
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 till 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! 
(SUNG BY GARTH) 
'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 
Guess I'll slip on down to the Oasis 
Oh, I've got friends in low places 
NOW IT'S ALL YOU GUYS 
(SUNG BY CROWD) 
'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 
(SUNG BY GARTH) 
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 
Guess I'll slip on down to the Oasis 
Oh, I've got friends in low places 
Honey, I've got friends in low places...
