It's Hard to Be Humble (live) - Mac Davis - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Released by Mac Davis in 1974, "It's Hard to Be Humble" explores the fame phenomenon, beginning with a spoken-word intro highlighting the protagonist's position: "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." The late Texan country star rendered the track – which became an international hit and the subject of several cover versions, including a version by T.R. Dallas that entered the Top 20 in Ireland and Willie Nelson, who covered the song in 2019 – in thick country brushstrokes and featured a choir of singers. Mac Davis featured "It's Hard to Be Humble" on his 1974 album Stop And Smell the Roses.
