lyrics
Friends In High Places
(Chorus1)
I'm feeling kind of low but I don't know why,
"I got friends in high places that are keeping me high"
I'm reeling from a blow but I don't go and cry,
"I got friends in high places that are keeping me high"
I don't see them that much and they never drop by,
"I got friends in high places that are keeping me high"
In my dreams I see your faces sleeping where I lie,
"I got friends in high places that are keeping me high"
(V1.)
I got friends in the west, I got friends in the east,
I got friends in the dirt because those friends are deceased/
I got friends in the north, I got friends in the south,
I got friends who get paid to knock the teeth out your mouth/
I got friends who wear patches, friends who wear badges,
Friends with technics and the super dope scratches/
Friends who ball, and some friends who don't,
I got some friends who will call, and some friends who won't/
I got friends with groupies, friends who make movies,
Friends in the city, and some friends in the boonies/
I got friends that are short, and some friends that are tall,
Got friends that are passive but they're ready to brawl/
I got friends making comic books, friends that are published,
Friends who find gold in another mans rubbish/
Friends who are dim, and friends that are gifted,
But the best kind of friends always keep me uplifted/
(Chorus2)
Dollar fifty in my pocket and my bank account dry,
"I got friends in high places that are keeping me high"
Little piggies on the block got your bag of brown Thai,
"I got friends in high places that are keeping me high"
And when the shit goes down I'll be there on the fly,
"I got friends in high places that are keeping me high"
Too drunk to fuck and too tough to die,
"I got friends in high places that are keeping me high"
(V2.)
I got friends with felonies, and PHDs,
I got friends who cut lumber, friends who save trees/
I got a friend with a studio, a friend with an office,
A friend who breaks even and a friend who makes profits/
Friends who yell, and friends that are soft spoken,
Some are too serious while others always joking/
Friends with tattoos, friends with three piece suits,
I got some scary looking friends that are real sweet brutes/
Got a friend who's a pilot, friends making rare strains,
I got military friends jumping out of airplanes/
I got friends with no credit, and friends with credibility,
Friends who work hard, friends collecting disability/
Friends in construction, and tax deduction,
Friends busy doing something while the others doing nothing/
Friends in politics, and friends in real estate,
The best kind of friends always keep me feeling really great/
(Chorus1)
(Chorus2)
(Chorus1)
(Chorus2)
