Humble

Mac Davis -- Author and performer of "Oh Lord, It's Hard to be Humble!"Mac Davis, luminary, composer, performer, consummate entertainer, was actually quite approachable and nothing like his song, Oh Lord, It's Hard to be Humble.

Nevertheless, the song captures the tone of the narcissism which is so applicable to so many today.

Here, it amuses us to relate the performance to so many cult leaders who really seem to have the problem of pride, arrogance and vanity.

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
Cuz 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 these love starved women
Who keep clamoring 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
Cuz 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
Cuz 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 guess you could say I am a loner
A cowboy all locked up and proud
Well I could have lots of friends if  I wanted
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
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
Cuz 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...

But I'm doin the best that I can.

Oh, Lord It's Hard to be Humble

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I have all the right doctrines
I'm right with each word that I say;

To know me is to love me
I must be the perfect man
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
I'm the only one who knows God's Plan.

[Wait for it!]

I used to be in Worldwide
But they simply could not compete
Now I've become the Apostle
With members who sit at my feet;

I could have gone with another
But I want people in awe of me
And I want to be independent
And not subject to others' CoG.

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I have all the right doctrines
I'm right with each word that I say;

To know me is to love me
I must be the perfect man
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
I'm the only one who knows God's Plan.

[Wait for it!]

I guess you could say I am a loner
A preacher all locked up and proud
Well I could have lots of friends if  I wanted
But then I wouldn't stand out in a crowd;

Some folks say that I'm egotistical
I don't even know what that means
I have my only true website
Now you critics stop spilling the beans!

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I have all the right doctrines
I'm right with each word that I say;

To know me is to love me
I must be the perfect man
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
I'm the only one who knows God's Plan...

I'm the only one who knows God's Plan.

We Hope these folks won't live forever,
They'll be whining for eternity!
