Blame it all on my voice..
I alone made the choice
To enter that small talent show.
They all thought I would fail
And my career would derail...
I saw the surprise
And the fear in their eyes
There was nothing much more they could say.
They haven't a clue..
Of what I can do...
For I've made some new friends on the way.
I've got friends in High Places..
Where Jerry is King..
And Diane chases
My blues away.
I'll be okay!
When time allows, I'm in DC
Where Senators applaud for me.
Oh,
I've got friends in High Places!
Well, I guess they were wrong
Saying I did not belong..
But, then, who are they all anyway?
The world applauds..
And I've got my Broads.
There's nothing to stand in my way!
I ignore those who are mean
For when I come on the scene..
I still draw a crowd now and then.
I can now rise as high
As that pie in the skies
The future shines bright in my eyes!
Cause,
I've got friends in High Places..
I see famous folks
And kids faces...
My spirit soars..
There's open doors..
I no longer care what they say..
