Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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, well, I'm doin' the best that I can
[Verse 2]
I use to have me a girlfriend but I guess she couldn't compete
With all of them love star women who keep clamorin' around my feet
Oh, I could probably find me another, well I guess there all in on me
Who cares? I'll never get lonesome 'cause I treasure my own company
[Verse 3]
Whoa, 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 one hell of a man
Oh, Lord, it's hard to be humble, but I'm doin't the best that I can
[Verse 4]
I guess you could say I'm a loner (Yeah)
A cowboy, outlaw, tough and proud
I could a lot of friends if I wanted
But the I wouldn't stand out from the crowd
[Verse 5]
Some folks say that I'm egotistical
Hell, I don't even know what that means
I guess is has somethin' to do
With the way I fill out my skin tight blue jeans
[Verse 6]
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 one hell of a man
Oh, Lord, it's hard to be humble, well I'm doin' the best that I can
[Verse 7]
Oh, Lord, it's hard to be humble, but I'm doin't the best that I can
