Callin' Baton Rouge
Blame it all on my rootsI showed up in bootsAnd ruined your black tie affairThe last one to knowThe last one to showI was the last oneYou thought you'd see thereAnd I saw the surpriseAnd the fear in his eyesWhen I took his glass of champagneAnd I toasted youSaid, honey, we may be throughBut you'll never hear me complain
Cause I've got friends in low placesWhere the whiskey drownsAnd the beer chases my blues awayAnd I'll be okayI'm not big on social gracesThink I'll slip on down to the oasisOh, I've got friends in low places
Well, I guess I was wrongI just don't belongBut then, I've been there beforeEverything's all rightI'll just say goodnightAnd I'll show myself to the doorHey, I didn't meanTo cause a big sceneJust give me an hour and thenWell, I'll be as highAs that ivory towerThat you're livin' in
Cause I've got friends in low placesWhere the whiskey drownsAnd the beer chases my blues awayAnd I'll be okayI'm not big on social gracesThink I'll slip on down to the oasisOh, I've got friends in low places
3rd Verse:I guess I was wrongI just don't belongBut then, I've been there beforeAnd everything is alrightI'll just say goodnightAnd I'll show myself to the doorI didn't mean to cause a big sceneJust wait 'til I finish this glassThen sweet little ladyI'll head back to the barAnd you can kiss my ass

Thinking something might be saved
Growing tired of broken promises
And dreams you never made
And I wanted to be more than just a friend
Not knowing I would hurt so in the end
So I swore I'd never call you home again
Took time to see through all the glitter
That you made
I was blinded by your fire light
And swept myself away
And I guess I couldn't bring myself to see
You had taken all the very best of me
So I'm leaving while there's something left of me
Just like a child, I keep running back for more
You know I though
