Friends in Low Places by Brooks Jefferson

Technically, it wasn't Garth Brooks version of Friends in Low Places, it was a cover band because Garth is too "Good" to have his music on Spotify. He isn't the only one, there are a few others, even one chick who took hers off after having them all on there. I use cover bands when they are decent and in one artists case, I just have none of his songs but I like a ton of them. I'm guessing he doesn't allow covers either because I couldn't find any. The Beatles used to be one of those artists but they allow it now, as you can tell.

I do like Garth's music, I used to have his Double Live album and loved it. It was great on long trips when I could listen to both CD's all together.

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]

'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]

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]

'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:Garth Brooks + Crowd][x2]

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 3]

I guess I was wrong

I just don't belong

But then, I've been there before

And everything is alright

I'll just say goodnight

And I'll show myself to the door

I didn't mean to cause a big scene

Just wait 'til I finish this glass

Then sweet little lady

I'll head back to the bar

And you can kiss my ass

[Chorus]

'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
