KEEPING ME HUMBLE

I saw you from the top of my teammates' shoulders by the hot dog stand.
Even better than catching that touchdown pass was catching your passing glance.
I strolled up proud with my chest stuck out, thinkin' there was no way you could turn me down,
All I could see, was you leavin' with me,
But you made it clear that you were out of my league.

(1st chorus)
You had a great little way of keeping me humble,
Without hurting me too bad.
Took me down a notch or two with the class and the grace of an angel who,
Planted my feet on the ground, pulled my head right from the clouds,
Helped me pick myself up when I stumble,
You had a great little way of keeping me humble.

Seven years later, who'd have thought we'd be livin' the American dream?
A house, couple kids and a fenced-in yard and a forty-inch TV screen,
It was Super Bowl Sunday, had a party with my buddies, had my money on my favorite team,
My daughter needed her daddy, cause she had a tiny splinter,
In the last thirty seconds while it was still anyone's game.

(2nd chorus)
She had a great little way of keeping me humble,
Without hurting me too bad.
Took me down a notch or two with the class and the grace of an angel who,
Planted my feet on the ground, pulled my head right from the clouds,
Helped me pick myself up when I stumble,
She had a great little way of keeping me humble.

(bridge)
When I look at the big picture, there's just one spiritual fixture,
And the rest of us just come and go.

(3rd chorus)
It's a great little way of keeping me humble,
Without hurting me too bad.
Takes me down a notch or two, now I believe in angels who,
Plant my feet on the ground, pull my head right from the clouds,
The good lord picks me when I stumble,
And that's a great little way of keeping me humble.
Keeping me humble.
