Humble Pie

Maybe you’re all that they’re saying
Or maybe they’re all insane
Don’t know what you’ve proven
To convince them you can make it rain

Whether you are or you aren’t
I know where you came from
can't swindle a swindler
it takes one to know one

I still remember the days
When you weren’t a star in the distance
And I liked you better when
you were just one of the guys
I still remember the days
When you lead a typical existence
take a bite anytime
Of this here humble pie

Maybe you’re proud of where you are now
Or maybe you can’t be
Cause something inside you
Hits a little differently
Now that you’ve had yourself a taste of
The glamour and the gold
You see you’ve been chasing
A dream that’s oversold

I still remember the days
When you weren’t a star in the distance
And I liked you better when
you were just one of the guys
I still remember the days
When you lead a typical existence
So take a bite anytime
Of this here humble pie

I guess I’m not ready to accept
The extra measure of respect
Doesn’t seem justified
I wish I could just let it slide

So maybe it’s true what they tell us
Or somewhere in between
Though you muddy up the water
You’re still coming away clean
You’re a hard one to pin down
Living on cloud nine
So go on with your new life
And I’ll get back in line but

I still remember the days
When you weren’t a star in the distance
And I liked you better when
you were just one of the guys
I still remember the days
When you lead a typical existence
So take a bite anytime
Of this here humble pie(2x)
