Lyrics
Verse 1
I walked into Tanuki Thunder feelin' out of placeDust on my boots from a long Sapporo dayBut the moment I sat down at that old wooden barA round of cold beers came from folks I never met
Chorus
I got friends in low placesWhere the good times roll and the music plays loudSalarymen, cowboys, dreamers and misfitsAt Tanuki Thunder we all stand proudFriends in low places, singin' every nightLaughin' through the troubles, keepin' the fire bright
Verse 2
Some lost their shirts on that buckin' bull machineOthers just got off the last train from downtownBut we swap stories under the neon glowIn this Hokkaido hideaway, nobody's left out
Chorus
I got friends in low placesWhere the good times roll and the music plays loudSalarymen, cowboys, dreamers and misfitsAt Tanuki Thunder we all stand proudFriends in low places, singin' every nightLaughin' through the troubles, keepin' the fire bright
Bridge
No fancy suits, no need to pretendJust boots on the floor and hearts that bendWe lift each other up when the day gets toughIn this smoky old saloon, we got more than enough
Solo
Heavy steel slide guitar
Final Chorus
Yeah I got friends in low placesWhere the whiskey's cold and the laughter's loudFrom first timers to the old regular facesAt Tanuki Thunder we own this townFriends in low places, till the morning lightThis is our family, every single night
Outro
Tanuki Thunder... my friends in low placesYee-haw!
