what is the song friends in low places about?
About âFriends in Low Placesâ. This is a song about a blue collar fellow who disrupts his ex-girlfriendâs (or ex-wifeâs) wedding reception, already drunk and talking about getting drunker. Itâs one of Brooks'âand country musicâsâgreatest hits, biggest concert crowd pleasers, and a karaoke standard.
