Question
I am trying to find out the name of the artist that did, " Lord it's Hard to be Humble" If you could help? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Answer
Hello Dana,

Mac Davis did this one back in 1980.......


"IT'S HARD TO BE HUMBLE"

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 clamouring at my feet
Well, 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
'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 guess you could say I'm a loner
A cowboy outlaw tough and proud
Oh, I could have lots of friends if I want 'em
But then I wouldn't stand out in a crowd
Some folks say that I'm egotistical
Hell, I don't even know what that means
But I think 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
'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


Glad to be of help. Cheers.........Mel.
