Back a few months ago I was headlinin' at a great big night club, and they put me up a couple of days early. I came in a
couple a'days early and they put me up in what they call the Star Suite. Now here I am headlinin' in one of the biggest night
clubs in the country and I wake up at 8 o'clock in morning in this star suite all by myself. (Awe) Yeah, that's what I said,
awe. But I did what I've always done to cheer myself up. I picked up my guitar and 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 trying 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 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 doin' the best that I can.


I use 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 probably could find me another,
But I guess their all in awe of me,
Who cares I'll 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 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 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 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 I fill out my skin tight blue jeans.


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 doin' the best that I can.


We're doing the best that we can.
