Lyrics

[00:04.30] Back a few months ago,
[00:05.50] I was headlinin' a great big nightclub,
[00:11.10] and they put me up a couple days early.
[00:13.10] I came in a couple days early,
[00:14.20] and they put me up in what they call the "Star Suite".
[00:18.70] Now here I am,
[00:20.30] headlinin' in one of the biggest nightclubs in the country,
[00:23.10] and I wake up at eight o'clock in the morning in this "Star Suite"
[00:27.00] ...all by myself.
[00:29.60] "Awwww"
[00:30.60] Yeah, that's what I said, "Awwww"
[00:33.60] But I did what I've always done, man, to cheer myself up.
[00:36.20] I picked up my guitar,
[00:37.80] I sat down, and I wrote me a little song.
[00:41.70] Now this is how it feels to be alone at the top of the hill,
[00:44.80] tryin' to figure out why.
[00:47.80] Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
[00:52.20] When you're perfect in every way
[00:56.60] I can't wait to look in the mirror
[01:01.00] 'Cause I get better lookin' each day
[01:05.50] To know me is to love me
[01:09.70] I must be a hell of a man
[01:14.10] Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
[01:18.20] But I'm doin' the best that I can!
[01:27.50] I used to have a girlfriend
[01:31.70] But I guess she just couldn't compete
[01:36.10] With all of these love-starved women
[01:40.00] Who keep clamoring at my feet
[01:44.50] Well, I could prob'ly find me another
[01:48.90] But I guess they're all in awe of me
[01:53.30] Who cares?
[01:54.40] I never get lonesome
[01:57.40] 'Cause I treasure my own company
[02:01.30] Oooooh Lord, it's hard to be humble
[02:08.50] When you're perfect in every way
[02:11.90] (Can't wait to look in the mirror)
[02:13.10] I can't wait to look in the mirror
[02:16.00] (Help me out now, come on)
[02:17.30] I get better lookin' each day
[02:20.70] (To know me is to what?)
[02:21.70] To know me is to love me
[02:24.50] (Must be a hell of a man)
[02:25.90] I must be a hell of a man
[02:29.10] (Oh Lord, it's hard)
[02:30.20] Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
[02:33.30] (When you're doin' what?)
[02:34.30] We're doin' the best that we can
[02:43.60] I guess you could say I'm a loner
[02:47.60] A cowboy outlaw, tough, and proud
[02:51.60] Well, I could have lots of friends if I wanted
[02:55.90] But then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd
[03:00.30] Some folks say that I'm "egotistical"
[03:04.60] Hell, I don't even know what that means
[03:09.00] I guess it has something to do with the way
[03:13.00] That I fill out my skin tight blue jeans
[03:16.80] Oooooh........
[03:19.60] Come on, where's all the kickers in here?!
[03:21.50] Oooooh Lord, it's hard to be humble
[03:25.70] (When you're perfect in every way)
[03:26.90] When you're perfect in every way
[03:29.70] (Can't wait to look in the mirror)
[03:31.10] I can't wait to look in the mirror
[03:34.20] ('Cause I get better lookin')
[03:35.60] I get better lookin' each day
[03:38.40] (To know me is to what?)
[03:39.80] To know me is to love me
[03:42.90] (Must be a hell of a man)
[03:44.30] I must be a hell of a man
[03:47.10] (Oh Lord, it's hard)
[03:48.30] Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
[03:51.50] (What are we doin'?)
[03:52.50] We're doin' the best that we can
[03:55.80] (One more time, what are we doin'?)
[03:57.70] We're doing the best that we can
[04:04.00] Give yourselves a hand
[04:05.70] Yeeee-haw!
