all by his lonesome

"Back a few months ago, I was headlinin' a great big nightclub

And they put me up a couple days early, I came in a couple days early

And they put me up in what they call the "Star Suite"

Now here I am, headlinin' in one of the biggest nightclubs

In the country and I wake up at eight o'clock in the morning

In this "Star Suite" all by myself"

"Awwww"

"Yeah, that's what I said, "Awwwww."

"But I did what I've always done, man, to cheer myself up

I picked up my guitar, I sat down and I wrote me a little song

Now this is how it feels to be alone at the top of the hill

Tryin' 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 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 cowering at my feet

Oh I probably 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

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 can't wait to look in the mirror

(Help me out now! Come on)

I get better looking each day

(To know me is to what?)

To know me is to love me

(Must be a hell of man)

I must be a hell of a man

(Oh Lord It's hard)

Oh Lord It's hard to be humble,

(When you're doing what?)

We're doing the best that we can

I guess you could say I'm a loner

A cowboy out lone, 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 with jeans

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble

(When you're perfect in every way)

When you're perfect in every way

(Can't wait to look in the mirror)

I can't wait to look in the mirror

('Cause I get better looking)

I get better looking each day

(To know me is to what?)

To know me is to love me

(Must be a hell of man)

I must be a hell of a man

(Oh Lord It's hard)

Oh Lord It's hard to be humble,

(What are we doing?)

We're doing the best that we can

(One more time, what are we doing?)

We're doing the best that we can.
