This song is one of best drinking anthems around. There aren&#8217;t many songs that people that don&#8217;t listen to country music know, but this seems to be one of them as a lot of bars that will play this some time throughout the night. And I swear, a majority of the place will start belting out this song no matter how good they are at singing or not. To add on to that, this just happens to be one of my favorite songs of Garth\u2019s. One of things about this song that stuck out to me, is it brought me back to listen to some older music. Not too old but more of his music and George Strait\u2019s too. The country they played is what true country music should sound like unlike today&#8217;s singers that like to add rappers to their song to make a remix. You also don&#8217;t see too many still wear the big cowboy hat like Garth and George. You could also see this as a love song. He talks about giving up on a girl after she left him. One of the big things about Garth Brooks, is that he has never wavered from country music. And that shows in the beginning line of the song, \u201cBlame it on all my roots, I showed up in boots\u2026\u201d. That&#8217;s all you need to know about Garth in regards to if would ever leave country for another genre. It seems as if his girl was cheating on him and he&#8217;s taking ways to get over him. Like by confronting this guy at black tie affair. You could tell that he wanted to get back even and this guy didn&#8217;t want anything to do with him. Garth says he&#8217;s got friends that are in low places, so he has people who can do anything to help him get back. I believe there is also a little piece of this song about Austin, when he talks about going to the oasis, which happens to be a restaurant out on Lake Travis. Good chance that&#8217;s not what he&#8217;s talking about even I&#8217;ve always thought it was that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Garth Brooks\u2019 \u201cFriends In Low Places\u201d has been one of my favorite songs ever since I got into college.
