Back a few months ago I was headlinin at a great big night club and they put me up a coupla days early... I came in a couple days early... and they put me up at what they called "the Star Suite." Now here I am... headlinin in one of the biggest nightclubs in the country, and I wake up at 8 o'clock in the morning in this Star Suite... all by myself.

Awwwwww

But I did what I've always done to cheer myself up. I picked up my guitar, I sat down, and 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
Cos 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 guess I could find me another
But I guess they're all in awe of me
Who cares, I never get lonesome
Cos 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 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
Oh I guess you could say I'm a loner
A cowboy I'm loud, tough and proud
Oh 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
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
Cos 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
We're doing the best that we can
