(15,774 posts)the better you harmonize. Jerry Jeff Walker, David Allen Coe, Ray Wylie Hubbard and the Lost Gonzo Band of outlaws were what I listened to in my mis spent youth.

Drunk last night and
drunk the night before
And we're gonna get drunk tonight
Like we've never been drunk before.
'Cause when I'm drunk
I'm happy as can be
'Cause I am a member of the Rauss family.
Now the Rauss family is the best family
That ever came over from Old Germany.
There's the highland Dutch and the lowland Dutch,
the Rotter...damn Dutch, and the Irish.
Glorious!
Victorious!
One keg of beer for the four of us!
Now glory be to god
There are no more of us
'Cause one of us can drink it all alone.
Damn near.
The lucky stiiiiiiiiiiiiffff!

I'm a progressive rock fan. I love fusion. I love traditional jazz. All the blues. And I love Frank Zappa. But Friends in Low Places is one very special tune.

(857 posts)but I prefer chill/trip hop/ambient/downtempo type music preferably sitting in my backyard watching the sun set over the mountains and listening to the coyotes howl.

(22,057 posts)"Dough, the stuff that buys my beer
Ray, the guy behind the bar
Me, the one that drinks my beer
Far, the distance to the bar
So I think I'll have a beer
La, la, la, la, la, la
Tea, no thanks I want a beer
And that brings us back to dough!"

He was a singer-songwriter and, though Brooks made it a hit, I think Russel wrote it
.
.
.
The very last song on the compilation is Garth Brooks doing a parody of the song (I
don't remember whether he or Russel had written it) called "I Got Pains in Low
Places" -- very funny and about intestinal distress.
.
The only reference I could find to its location on the Intertubes (it's not on YouTube),
said the site was unavailable when I tried to go there.

Blame it all on the beans
Or not enough greens
For ruinin' your black tie affair
Didn't mean to be rude
Stopped for Mexican food
Now your guests are all startin' to stare
I saw the surprise
And the tears in their eyes
And I knew I was spoilin' the fun
It would be a real gas
But I'd better pass
In more ways than one...
'Cause I've got pains in low places
It's raisin' cain and leavin' traces
And I'd better go
Before I blow
Hey, I'm not big on social graces
I'd love to stay but they're makin' faces
Oh, I've got pains in low places
A little too long
A little too strong
On the Richter scale about four
Aw, but it was just right
To causin' a fight
To be the first one out the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give it an hour and then...
Somebody scratch
A big kitchen match
You can all come back in...
'Cause I've got pains in low places
It's raisin' cain and leavin' traces
And I'd better go
Before I blow
Hey, I'm not big on social graces
I'd love to stay but they're makin' faces
Oh, I've got pains in low places
I've got pains... in low places
Do do do...do do do.
