Lori McKenna - Humble & Kind Lyrics






Know there's a light that glows by the front door
Don't forget the key is under the mat
Watch how the stars shine
Always stay humble and kind
Go to church cause your mama 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 that you're dreaming come true
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 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 mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When these dreams that you're dreaming come true
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 rootbeer popsicle
Shut off the AC and roll the windows down
And let the summer sun shine
Always stay humble and kind
Don't take for granted the love this life gives you
Where you get where you're going turn right back around
And help the next one in line
Always stay humble and kind

    camera operators need to realize show the whole view including the guitar and not so in the face.

  13. A.... T....

    Whoever dislike this song deserves to be stab 27 times..

  14. R.... ....

    Lori is one of the best Songwriters and Voices on this hole planet - can't understand why she's so underrated. She got soul for millions..

  15. B.... C....

    Is it just me but Diamond Whites cover of this song is way better man. Its next level singing. Props to this lady for writing it though.

  16. L.... ....

    I heard this song for the first time in my favorite TV series "Harrow" )

  17. j.... m....

    this is amazing country music, hugging my kiddo listening to it...this is the kinda music we want

  18. B.... !....

    Found this out from season 2 of Harrow

  19. R.... T....

    Harrow brought me here

  20. s.... ....

    I've been listening to a couple of her songs and I just found out that she wrote this one, and honestly that makes so much more sense. Don't get me wrong I love Tim McGraw, but her lyrics are always so thoughtful and now listening to her sing this, of COURSE she wrote it. I fell in love with this song all over again

  21. M.... C....

    Words to live by. We all end up as dust and this is the only life we know of for sure so it makes sense to me to live and practice this. Life can change in an instant. You can be regretting less thought out choices.

  22. j.... s....

    I think possibly the most inspiring song I've ever heard. I love this song. There is a station here in Austin that used to play music like this. Now they are more mainstream. What a shame. All we need is another Starbuck and mainstream radio.

  23. j.... ....

    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
    Always stay humble and kind

    I have a songwriter crush on this woman, I think she is a mentor !

  25. c.... ....

    Thank You for the gift of your music, and the light of your spirit ......

  26. T.... ....

    Here is why you are interesting Lori. Not because your songs have that little extra thing--they do. My opinion you are in the top 5% of all time song writers. But that isn't it. Its because you have a beautiful voice as well yet you still have to give your songs off to LBT or McGraw to get a hit? It truly is interesting to me. Its about marketing and image. I am glad you aren't a superstar anyhow. Its better for your soul :-)

  27. G.... B....

    Don't like a lot of country music so not up on all the artists so much but just got turned on to Lori today by my bro and now I'm a fan...awesome song & vocals!!!

  28. V.... V....

    saaaaannnngggg!!!!!

  29. s.... ....

    Such an amazing song! I'm guessing her guitar is in an open (or alternate) tuning?? Does anyone know?

  30. C.... T....

    What a wonderful singer / songwriter. Lori McKenna is a favorite!

  31. A.... S....

    Im a McGraw fan. I have been for a very long time. But I got a feelin he didnt write this song when I heard it. An amazing song nonetheless. Thank you for writing it. Somebody else may be headlining with it. But the message is getting through.

  40. J.... B....

    It's a bummer the world has to hear Tim McGraw ruin Lori McKenna songs.

  49. J.... O....

    Lori you have written the greatest song since amazing grace. Words escape me when describing the beauty of this song... this song is vindication for the strong who choose to be gentle, especially during these modern times.

  50. d.... ....

    Curious if Lori heard 16-year old Addison Agen do this song live on The Voice. She couldn't finish the song because she was crying. The heart that young girl put into this song gave me hope for her generation. I also like the stripped down versions like this one. Throw some heart into the words and melody and things like voice doubling are unnecessary. This is truly a masterpiece of a song.

  51. S.... ....

    How does McGraw have 52 million views and this have 82K? WTF is wrong with people?

    S.... ....

    Share it. Make sure the world knows who wrote it.

  52. J.... L....

    Great song you wrote did you know tim would use the song?

  53. A.... G....

    Wonderful 🌹

  54. J.... H....

    Perhaps the perfect song?

    J.... H....

    Perhaps...

  55. J.... R....

    I will be singing this song to my son until we both remember it by heart <3

  56. C.... S....

    Awesome

  57. L.... B....

    Was driving home tonight, radio channel surfing, and heard this song on some country channel with a fella singing. I hardly ever listen to country, but as a songwriter, I know a good song when I hear one.
    This is beautiful.
    Peace~

    L.... B....

    That fella was Tim McGraw

    L.... B....

    She wrote it for her kids

  58. G.... R....

    Wow beautiful voice.

  59. B.... B....

    I remember the first time I heard Tim McGraw sing this and then the incredible video which Tim and Lori collaborated with Opray Winfrey, but the simplicity of Lori singing has a place in my heart too. The lyrics truly and profoundly affect me to this very day; I'm thinking of the gal in my life today and my family. Thank you!

  60. A.... D....

    Beautiful.

  61. i.... ....

    r.... c....

  64. b.... ....

    A song of the decade candidate for sure.

  65. A.... C....

    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'

    Lori, I found you several years after listening to everything a small group named HEM has been able to put in my ears. Sally Ellyson is one of those one in a Billion Voices.
    Thank you - you have made an impression on everyone that hears you and those of us who have found you and shared you with as many as who will listen - and convert as well.
    :)

  97. K.... S....

    I hate that the radio won't play the original writers. This is WAY better.

    K.... S....

    Don't agree with you Kyle, I like Tim's arrangement better. But, she penned a winner here. I hope she's proud of it. She oughta' be. That being said, its got its own appeal.

    Love this version...
