Friends in Low Places (25th Anniversary Edition) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Garth Brooks, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, George Strait]
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"


[Chorus: George Strait, Jason Aldean, Garth Brooks, Florida Georgia Line]
'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

[Verse 2: Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, George Strait, Garth Brooks]
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

[Chorus: Jason Aldean]
'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

[Chorus: Florida Georgia Line]
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

[Chorus: George Strait]
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
[Chorus: All]
'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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
