Tim McGraw Releases His Inspirational & Emotional New Single "Humble and Kind" (Listen)

Though it is not marketed as a Christian song, Tim McGraw's brand new single "Humble and Kind" resonates with the teachings of the Bible. Reminding us that we should never let our successes overwhelm us but always to be thankful and humble, this is the type of song Jesus would smile at.

The single is the last song on McGraw's newest album, Damn Country Music. It's sung from the point of view of a parent sending their child into the world, and McGraw admits that he cried through every take.

"I cried after every take," he reveals. "I would try to get myself together, and I'd get halfway through it, and I would just start blubbering every time I'd try to sing a line."

The singer has three daughters, Gracie, Audrey and Maggie, with wife Faith Hill, and he obviously has a soft spot for each of his girls, but "Humble and Kind" especially hit home for McGraw because Gracie left for college this past fall.

Here are the lyrics to "Humble And Kind"

You know there's a light that glows by the front door
Don't forget the key's 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 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
