Friends In Low Places (Long Version) Lyrics

Artist: Garth Brooks
Album: Double Live Disc 2

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...

I'm really a Rock & Roll person, but I listen to all types of music. This is one of my favorite Country Music songs; I believe we all have "Friends In Low, low Places". And, Lord knows everyone needs to "slip on down to the oasis" occasionally!
Garth's a great writer and entertainer.
