0:47Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
0:51When you're perfect in every way
0:56I can't wait to look in the mirror
1:00Cause I get better lookin' each day
1:05To know me is to love me
1:09I must be a hell of a man
1:13Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
1:17But I'm doin' the best that I can
1:21♪
1:27I used to have a girlfriend
1:31But I guess she just couldn't compete
1:35With all of these love-starved women
1:39Who keep clamoring at my feet
1:44Well I could probably find me another
1:48But I guess they're all in awe of me
1:52Who cares? I never get lonesome
1:56Cause I treasure my own company
2:01Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
2:08When you're perfect in every way
2:12I can't wait to look in the mirror
2:16I get better lookin' each day
2:21To know me is to love me
2:25I must be a hell of a man
2:30Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
2:33When you're doing the best that you can
2:37♪
2:43I guess you could say I'm a loner
2:47A cowboy outlaw, tough and proud
2:51Well, I could have lotsa friends if I wanted,
2:55But then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd
2:59Some folks say that I'm egotistical
3:04Hell, I don't even know what that means
3:08I guess it has something to do with the way
3:12That I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans
3:16Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
3:26When you're perfect in every way
3:31I can't wait to look in the mirror
3:35I get better lookin' each day
3:39To know me is to love me
3:44I must be a hell of a man
3:48Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
3:52When you're doing the best that you can
3:57We're doing the best that we can!
4:03Give yourselves a hand.
4:05Yeeee-haw!
4:07♪
