The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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.

Crowd: Awwww.

Mac: 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.

(sung)

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

Cause I get better lookin' 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 doin' 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 could probably 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.

Ohhhhhh.....

(chorus)

I guess you could say I'm a loner

A cowboy outlaw, tough and proud

Well, I could have lotsa 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

Ohhhhhh........

come on, where's all the kickers in here?!

(chorus)

One more time, what are we doin'?

We're doing the best that we can!

Give yourselves a hand.

Yeeee-haw!
