Chorus:
        
     Oh lord, it's hard to be humble,
                                  
     When you're perfect in every way,

     I can't wait to look in the mirror,
                               
     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 doing 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 clamoring at my feet.

Well I prob'ly 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.

Chorus:
        
     Oh lord, it's hard to be humble,
                                  
     When you're perfect in every way,

     I can't wait to look in the mirror,
                               
     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 doing the best that I can.

  
I guess you could say I'm a loner,
                          
A cowboy outlaw tough and proud,

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 skin tight blue jeans.

Chorus:
        
     Oh lord, it's hard to be humble,
                                  
     When you're perfect in every way,

     I can't wait to look in the mirror,
                               
     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 we're doing the best that we can.
