Davis, Mac - It's Hard To Be Humble Lyrics






Back a few months ago, I was headlinin' a great big nightclub...
And they put me up a couple days early, I came in a couple days early
And they put me up in what they call the "Star Suite"
Now here I am, headlinin' in one of the biggest nightclubs
In the country and I wake up at eight o'clock in the morning
In this "Star Suite"...
...All by myself
[Crowd:] Awwww!
Yeah, that's what I said, "Awwww"
But I did what I've always done, man, to cheer myself up
I picked up my guitar, I sat down and I wrote me a little song
Now this is how it feels to be alone at the top of the hill
Tryin' to figure out why

Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
'Cause I get better lookin' each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
But I'm doin' the best that I can

I used to have a girlfriend
But I guess she just couldn't compete
With all of these love-starved women
Who keep clamoring at my feet
Well I could probably find me another
But I guess they're all in awe of me
Who cares? I never get lonesome
'Cause I treasure my own company

Oh... Lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
'Cause I get better lookin' each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
But I'm doin' the best that I can

I guess you could say I'm a loner
A cowboy outlaw, tough and proud
Well, I could have lotsa friends if I wanted
But then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd
Some folks say that I'm "egotistical"
Hell, I don't even know what that means
I guess it has something to do with the way
That I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans

Oh... Come on, where's all the kickers in here?!
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
'Cause I get better lookin' each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
But I'm doin' the best that I can!
One more time, what are we doin'?
We're doing the best that we can!
Give yourselves a hand
Yee-haw!

    Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
    When you're perfect in every way
    I can't wait to look in the mirror
    Cause I get better looking each day
    To know me is to love me
    I must be a hell of a man
    Oh Lord It's hard to be humble,
    But I'm doing the best that I can

    I used to have a girlfriend,
    But I guess she just couldn't compete,
    With all of these love-starved women,
    Who keep cowering at my feet
    Oh I probably could find me another,
    But I guess they're all in awe of me
    Who cares?
    I never get lonesome
    Cause I treasure my own company

    I guess you could say I'm a loner
    A cowboy out lone, tough, and proud
    I could have lots of friends if I wanted
    But then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd
    Some folks say that I'm egotistical
    Hell I don't even know what that means
    I guess it has something to do
    With the way that I fill out my skin tight with jeans

    Oh Lord it's hard to be humble

    I like people who can laugh at themselves and don’t take themselves too seriously. This is an excellent example of what Halle Berry said which is, “Don’t take yourself too seriously. Know when to laugh at yourself, and find a way to laugh at obstacles that inevitably present themselves” Source: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/halle_berry_468365.
