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 OK
I'M NOT BIG ON
SOCIAL GRACES
THINK I'LL SLIP ON DOWN
TO THE OASIS
OH I GOT FRIENDS
IN LOW PLACES
WELL I GUESS
I WAS WRONG
I JUST DON'T BELONG
BUT THEN
HELL I'VE BEEN THERE
BEFORE
AND 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 GOT
FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES
WHERE THE WHISKEY
DROWNS
AND THE BEER
CHASES MY BLUES AWAY
AND I'LL BE OK
I'M NOT BIG ON
SOCIAL GRACES
THINK I'LL SLIP ON DOWN
TO THE OASIS
OH I GOT FRIENDS
IN LOW PLACES
EVERYBODY
I GOT FRIENDS
IN LOW PLACES
WHERE THE WHISKEY
DROWNS
AND THE BEER
CHASES MY BLUES AWAY
AND I'LL BE OK
I'M NOT BIG ON
SOCIAL GRACES
THINK I'LL SLIP ON DOWN
TO THE OASIS
OH I GOT FRIENDS
IN LOW PLACES
YOU KNOW SOMETIMES
THE CRAZIEST THINGS
IN THE WORLD
CAN HAPPEN
YOU CAN ACTUALLY
CUT A SONG
THEY CAN ACTUALLY
PUT IT ON
ONE OF THOSE
LITTLE BITTY DISCS
THEY CAN TAKE IT TO
YOUR RADIO STATION
AND IT'S THEN
AND ONLY THEN
YOU REALIZE
SOMETHING'S WRONG
I DIDN'T FIRST NOTICE IT
I PLAYED IT
AND I PLAYED IT
AND IT NEVER HIT ME
TILL ALL OF A SUDDEN
ONE DAY
I WAS DRIVING AROUND
BACK HOME
AND IT CAME ON
THE RADIO
AND I SAID GARTH
AND THAT'S WHAT I GO BY
BACK HOME IS GARTH
I SAID GARTH
I SAID
WOULD YOU HANDLE
THIS SITUATION
THAT WAY
AND I SAID NO
I DON'T THINK I WOULD
SO I HOPE
YOU DON'T MIND
BUT I HAD TO GO BACK
AND WRITE A THIRD VERSE
FOR THIS SONG
TO MAKE IT
A LITTLE BIT MORE ME
IF YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN
GOES A LITTLE LIKE THIS
WELL I GUESS
I WAS WRONG
I JUST DON'T BELONG
BUT THEN
I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE
AND 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
THEN SWEET LITTLE LADY
I'LL HEAD
BACK TO THE BAR
HUH HUH
AND YOU CAN KISS MY A$$
'CAUSE I GOT
FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES
WHERE THE WHISKEY
DROWNS
AND THE BEER
CHASES MY BLUES AWAY
AND I'LL BE OK
I'M NOT BIG ON
SOCIAL GRACES
THINK I'LL SLIP ON DOWN
TO THE OASIS
OH I GOT FRIENDS
IN LOW PLACES
LET'S HEAR YOU TEXAS
I GOT FRIENDS IN LOW
I'M NOT BIG ON
SOCIAL GRACES
WOH
I GOT FRIENDS
IN LOW PLACES
WHERE THE WHISKEY
DROWNS
AND THE BEER
CHASES MY BLUES AWAY
YEAH
AND I'LL BE OK
I'M NOT BIG ON
SOCIAL GRACES
THINK I'LL SLIP ON DOWN
TO THE OASIS
OH I GOT FRIENDS
IN LOW PLACES
OH I'VE GOT FRIENDS
IN LOW PLACES
