Back a few months ago I was headlinin' in a great big night club
And they put me up a couple of days early I came in a couple days early
And they put me up in what the call the star suite
Now here I am headliner 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
Yeah that's what I said aww
But I did what I've always done I had to tear 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 and 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 cowering at my feet
Well 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
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way...
I guess you could say I'm a loner a cowboy outlaw tough and proud
Well 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 skintight 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...
One more time what are we doin'
We're doin' the best that we can
Give yourselves a hand yeehaw
