Humble and Kind, composed by Lori McKenna, was inspired by her own children. Lori wrote the song as a simple and heartfelt reminder of what she wanted her five children to know about life. The song, popularized by Tim McGraw, emphasizes the importance of humility and kindness in a world that sometimes forgets these fundamental values.
You know there's a light that glows by the front door Don't forget the key's under the mat When childhood stars shine, always stay humble and kind Go to church 'cause your momma says to Visit grandpa every chance that you can It won't be wasted time, always stay humble and kind
Hold the door, say please, say thank you Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie I know you got mountains to climb but Always stay humble and kind When the dreams you're dreamin' come to you When the work you put in is realized Let yourself feel the pride but Always stay humble and kind
Don't expect a free ride from no one Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why Bitterness keeps you from flyin' Always stay humble and kind Know the difference between sleeping with someone And sleeping with someone you love "I love you" ain't no pick up line so Always stay humble and kind
Hold the door, say please, say thank you Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie I know you got mountains to climb but Always stay humble and kind When those dreams you're dreamin' come to you When the work you put in is realized Let yourself feel the pride but Always stay humble and kind
When it's hot, eat a root beer Popsicle Shut off the AC and roll the windows down Let that summer sun shine Always stay humble and kind Don't take for granted the love this life gives you When you get where you're goin', don't forget turn back around And help the next one in line Always stay humble and kind
