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
1 * * * 17 * 4 *
To know me is to love me ___, I must be a hell of a man
* * 1 * 57 * 1 *
Oh, Lord, it's hard to be humble, .. but I'm doing the best that I can
1 4 1 * * * 57 *
I used to have a girlfriend, .. but I guess she just couldn't com-pete
* * * * * * 1 *
With all of these love-starved women, .. who keep clamoring at my feet
* * * * 17 * 4 *
Well I prob'ly could find me a-nother .. but I guess they're all in awe of me
* * 1 * 57 * 1 57
Who cares, I never get lonesome, .. 'cause I treasure my own compan-y, Oh
1 4 1 * * * 57 *
I guess you could say I'm a loner, .. a cowboy out-law, tough and proud
* * *
Oh, I could have lots of friends if I want-a /
* * * 1 *
/ .. but then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd
* * *
Some folks say that I'm ego-tistical /
* 17 * 4 *
/ .. Hell, I don't even know what that means
* * 1
I guess it has somethin' to do with the way /
* 57 * 1 57
/ .. that I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans, Oh

It's Hard to Be Humble
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way
