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 places
Honey, 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!
