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 GOT FRIENDS
IN LOW PLACES
WHERE THE WHISKEY
DROWNS
AND THE BEER CHASES
MY BLUES AWAY
AND I'LL BE O.K.
NOW 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
GOOD NIGHT
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 GOT FRIENDS
IN LOW PLACES
WHERE THE WHISKEY
DROWNS
AND THE BEER CHASES
MY BLUES AWAY
AND I'LL BE O.K.
NOW I'M NOT BIG
ON SOCIAL GRACES
THINK I'LL SLIP
ON DOWN
TO THE OASIS
OH I'VE GOT FRIENDS
IN LOW PLACES
I'VE GOT FRIENDS
IN LOW PLACES
WHERE THE WHISKEY
DROWNS
AND THE BEER CHASES
MY BLUES AWAY
AND I'LL BE O.K.
NOW 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'VE GOT FRIENDS
IN LOW PLACES
WHERE THE WHISKEY
DROWNS
AND THE BEER CHASES
MY BLUES AWAY
AND I'LL BE O.K.
