Garth Brooks Friends in Low Places [The Long Version] Lyrics

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
(chorus)
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
So, 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 all right
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
*chorus*

*chorus*

(Garth Brooks Speaking)
What?
You guys already know what's coming,
Don't cha?
And you know what, your right.
Your 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 the song,
but does anybody know the words of that verse?
Well in that case,
I think, the Friends in Low Places
should sing that third verse
This oughta be good....
alright, here we go

(Audience Singing)
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
And I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just wait 'til I finish this glass
Then sweet little lady
I'll be back to the bar
Give It To Me
And you can KISS MY a__!!!

'Cause
*chorus* x3

'Cause hon' I got friends in low places
