| Friends in Low Places |
After writing and bloging my "The Weekend" post yesterday I couldn't help but think of one song by Garth Brooks! That song was in my head the whole day until I went to bed that night! I woke up this morning and the song was still in my head so I decided to put it on here! Here goes: 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 (INSTRUMENTAL BREAK) 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) EVERYBODY! (Chorus) (SPOKEN) (Pause) What?!?! (Pause) You guys... already know what's comin', don't ya? And ya know what... you're right. You're 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 that song. But, does anybody know the words to that verse? That's what I wanna know. Well, in that case I think the friends in low places should sing that third verse. This outta be good. Alright, here we go... (SUNG BY CROWD) 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 wait till I finish this glass And sweet little lady I'll head back to the bar GIVE IT TO ME!!! And you can kiss my ass! (SUNG BY GARTH) '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 Guess I'll slip on down to the Oasis Oh, I've got friends in low places NOW IT'S ALL YOU GUYS (SUNG BY CROWD) '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 (SUNG BY GARTH) 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 Guess I'll slip on down to the Oasis Oh, I've got friends in low placesHoney, I've got friends in low places... |

I never heard any song of Garth Brooks, i guess I'm not into country music, the lyrics are cool so you convinced me to download it :) Just last week i saw this show on VH1 talking about Garth how he made up a fictional rock singer, Chris Gaines, when i saw his pic on the album i couldn't believe it was him, people thought he went nuts!

Hehehe! I've been listening to country for a while and friends here call me "Billy Bob" when I'm in my country mood! ;oP
As for artists making up fictional singers I would say that they either said the name incorrectly or didn't want to put thier real names when they first started off! Kinda like a DJ, where the DJ doesn't use his real name and sticks to an alias but eventually after the DJ realizes how famous he/she is some of them tend to use thier real names!
