FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES
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'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.
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 goodnite, 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 live in! (© by CareersMusic, Inc) (as sung by Garth Brooks)
GARTH
Like birds on a high line, They line up at night time at the bar. They all once were lovebirds. Now bluebirds are all that they are. They landed in hell; The minute they fell from love's sky. And now they hope in the wine, That they'll find a new way to fly.
A NEW WAY TO FLY, Far away from goodbye, Above the clouds and the rain, The memories and the pain, And the tears that they cry. Now the lesson's been learned; They've all crashed and burned. But they can leave it behind, If they could just find A new way to fly.
By the end of the night, They'll be high as a kite once again. And they don't seem to mind all the time Or the money they spend. It's a high price to pay To just find a way to get by. But it's worth every dime If they find a new way to fly.
They'll leave it behind As soon as they find A new way to fly... (© by Texas Wedge Music) (and again, as sung by Garth Brooks)
