Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in a suit
And ruined your laid back affair
Last one to know
Last one to show
I was the last one you'd thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of Budwieser
I toasted you
Said Honey we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain
Cause I got friends in high places
Where the champagne drowns and wine chases my blues away
And I'll be ok
Well I'm pretty big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the Bahamas
Oh I've got friends in high places
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 you'll be as high as that ivory tower that I'm living in!
