Humble And Kind
Tim Mc Graw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know there's a lot that goes by the front door
Don't forget the keys under the mat
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 a waste of 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 moutains 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 flying
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 moutains 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, a 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




Help the next one in line
Always stay humble and kind

Dear readers.
Always stay humble and kind indeed.

This what happend to me a week ago I was told to wait a year for an operation, that would give me back my live....
I was so sad, but accepted it in my heart and asked the lord to keep me humbly waiting and giving me strength.

Last night I just thought of googling songs that gives courage and this song I found.

I cried so so much.
And I prayed and again asked the Lord to help me.

This morning I received a call from the Dr. She said"I've got good news. "
You are being operated on Thursday.
To me it's a miracle.
Thank you so much for this beautiful true love, love of lives song.
Amen!

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 mamma 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 going don't forget turn back around
And help the next one in line

Humble and kind. Thank you for holding the door for me. Please keep climbing those mountains and always extend your hand to lift another up.... To a person being Humble and kind is very encouraging within their own heart. Being Humble and kind doesn't always come with praise yet many will recognize the gesture(s) and hopefully learn, remember to pay it forward. 🎵💫🎶

@sonofman1300

@@BrandyD1777 thank you for the echo of the words my mother and father taught me from the Gospels and thier parents before them. Such a blessing to not only know the message but to adapt to life and live that humble and kind vision. Mr. McGraw did me a solid by hearing the lyrics and putting his melody with them after I shared them with him. Plus, he taught me that I have something to say which is worth the time it takes ti listen and learn from. It is good to know that part of heaven is here with me and people like Tim help to spread such ideas I can't wait to record more music with Tim. He is definitely one of the good eggs. Lol. Love him.
