Lori McKenna is a national treasure. There are very few songwriters that write songs so pure, heartfelt and honest these days.

I was about to comment about no credits to Tim McGraw and then I did a little research and discovered she wrote the dang song! I love finding original artists, especially with a song as good as this one. I'm doing my best to live by it every day.

She is an original singer songwriter from south of Boston and her first 4 CD were played on the college radio which broadcast quite far range on mass coast , so she was already playing at 28 with her first 3 young boys all over the city and Cambridge and Somerville and other small towns she had a big following, had to call quickly by 2002 to get tickets or sold out ; they found her - she helped them, they helped her . In the last 5 years her albums are more like herself only she has often done the humble and kind thing and brought on co-writers and given lots of credit to them . Like faith and Tim did to her . Her mom died when she was young and he raised her and her five siblings, she’s always been an amazing singer songwriter; they helped her provide for her family that’s all - she’s still humble and kind .

Lori makes songs you can cry listening too, that is a organic skill.

This lady has more talent in her pinkie finger than most of those we hear on the radio.

I cannot believe that I have never heard of Lori McKenna until now. What INCREDIBLE talent! I am so glad I have discovered her music. She is now one of my favourites!

Right??? I discovered it only recently too, and I can't stop listening. I am trying to learn on the ukulele. I know I can't do it justice, but I want to be able to sing it to me children and grandchildren. I want the whole world to take this song to heart.

I heard this on a commercial. It brought tears to my eyes. I watched for it so I could jot down some of the lyrics to see if I could find it. Seriously...this is what the world needs.

Lori McKenna has been for 15 years, my favorite singer/songwriter. She's one of the most talented people that few people have ever heard of. I'm so happy that her amazing gift is finally beginning to be recognized publicly by the music industry. Lori...you are truly amazing.

Could not have expressed my thoughts and emotions for this epic song any better!

I have been the ‘tech’ guy for northern New York church producing a simple single camera record of a church service for more than 20 years. While working on the July 19th service Lori McKenna, Jim (on keys) and Pat (on guitar) surprised me with your wonderful song ‘Humble and Kind’. It became an instant top 10 favorite. At possibly 1000 services I have recorded (I’m over 60) since 1997, an instant top 10 does not happen ever day. My compliments. I have to guess God smiles as the song takes the ‘key under the mat’ and gives a solid rewind turn to this ‘in your face’ morality (lacking) starved society direction. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. rtk

Two years ago a re-found friend told me about this song and told me it made her think of me every time she heard it. It was a very tough time as we were watching another old friend's life come to a close, much too soon. She said that the things she saw me do to help him and his family just exemplified that what the song means and how I have always approached life. Those words she shared and the lyrics of this song have been a touchstone for me ever since. I truly try to meet the expectations such sentiment expresses and hope that by example I can inspire others to show humility and kindness as they travel life's roadways. I replay frequently to help me be aware to stay humble and share kindness with others, because we never know what they may be struggling with. Life can be hard. Life can be mean. If we can do something, big or small to make it easier for others I believe we should try. To my friend who shared this and told me that this song reminds they of how I live, I will always be grateful that took the time to express your thoughts and I hope that I will always be man enough to live up to the message it expresses. Remember to always stay humble and kind.

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~

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!!!

This is one of best song ever written.

Great song! If only more people followed Loris principles the World would be a much better place. Instead, it's a shambles I'm afraid to say. Too much greed, too many drugs, too much violence and machismo. Not enough love. Lori you are a shining light keep it up!! ❤❤

She is a gift, and has given us this song.

"Humble and Kind" is a song written by Lori McKenna and first released by American singer Tim McGraw on January 20, 2016, as the second single from his 14th studio album, 'Damn Country Music'. McKenna later recorded her rendition of the song for her eighth studio album, 'The Bird and the Rifle', released in July 2016. In 2017 Lori won Best Country Song at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards for "Humble and Kind", performed by Tim McGraw.

I get chills throughout my soul,when I hear this song.

Thank you Lori for these meaniful compound words! Bless you, your talent and all your loved ones.

The world needs to listen

I first heard this song in my local channel in a public service announcement. I immediately fell in love with it and the lyrics are so rich with meaning. Maybe we should all be listening to the message, especially now in these trying times.

WONDERFUL.. SIMPLY WONDERFUL WORDS TO LIVE BY !

I didn’t realize you wrote this song but holy crap I love your version so much more. It’s songs/recordings like this that I love the most. They’re raw and real. Straight to heart without bells and whistles. I hope one day I can write something as amazing as this song is! 😊 thanks for being an inspiration

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

This is a beautiful tribute to a loving parent's wisdom shared throughout a child's years ... Addison Agen covered this superbly! Thank you Lori for your heart.

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!

Beautiful song and voice. Should be on all channels!!

One of the greatest songs ever written..

Amazing! She sings this song the best!

I just learned you wrote this Lori... 4 years after it was released by TM. Thank you for this very heartfelt resonating message and music

This is a beautiful song .. Practically brings me tp tears

I love everything about this. She can touch a soul by her simple and powerful words and voice.

Not a country fan. Heard this song many times due to proximity to those who do. Was confused because when I looked it up I see Tim come up first. Dug a bit. Came across an interview you did. I read the transcript and was crying by the time I finished. I don't choose a genre when I listen to music. I listen for the soul. Baby you got it.

Awesome! I miss my Mother so dearly...2 years

I soo love this song...i cry everytime i hear it💖💖💖💖

This is what I dreamed and now see in my son! Thank you 💕 for this song!!

I sure wish she toured more. I’d love to see her in person❤️

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

LOVE this song

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

she's empathizing her feeling and thoughts through her music so nice if so many people can grasp the essence of the song they can realize something that well change there entire life🤔😊😊

I love this iconic song so much! It always makes me cry and be grateful; at the same time! 🙏

Great song. Compliments to the person who did the audio for this. Took til the singing started until I realized it wasn't a studio recording. Great performance of course! But I was taken by surprise when I realized it was live. Bravo

thanks for blessing the world with these words of wisdom in a beautiful song. God bless you

It's so beautiful and simple. I love it.

Hello! Thank you so much for this song! Well done!

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.

Beautiful lyrics

1) You know there's a Light that glows 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 too, Visit grandpa every chance that you can, It won't be a waste of time, Always stay humble and kind Chorus) 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 2) 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 with sleeping with someone, And sleeping with someone you love, I love you ain't no pick up line so Always stay humble and kind Chorus 3) 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 ********************************************* "Humble and Kind" is a song written by Lori McKenna and first released by American country music singer Tim McGraw on January 20, 2016, as the second single from his 14th studio album, Damn Country Music.
