SIZE MATTERS

(Byron Hill & Mike Dekle)

Recorded by Joe Nichols, Universal South, 2005

Joe has recorded three of my songs, each co-written with my good friend Mike Dekle. We thought we'd get a single from at least one of Joe's first two CDs, but that didn't happen. I guess the third time is the charm. We are thrilled with "Size Matters" and with Buddy Cannon's great production. No doubt, Joe has one of the best voices to ever hit the Country charts. We're proud to be a small part of his career! This is one of those song titles that I imagine just about every professional songwriter in Nashville has in their catalog. Fairly often I listen to the radio and say "darn....there goes another title!" referring to some song that beat mine to the charts. That's how it kind of goes for these topical songs built on phrases that are part of the everyday conversational fashion. I can't remember any odd story about this one. Mike and I just cranked it out one day at the house I used to live in on Brighton Road in Nashville.

 

 

SIZE MATTERS (Hill/Dekle)

 

SOMEDAY SHE WANTS A BIG ‘OL HOUSE

SITTING ON A BIG ‘OL HILL

AND A MILE LONG TREE LINED DRIVEWAY

FOR HER BIG ‘OL COUPE DE’ VILLE

YEAH SOMEDAY SHE WANT A BIG ‘OL BANK ACCOUNT

WITH TOO MUCH TO SPEND

BUT RIGHT NOW ALL SHE WANTS IS A MAN

 

CHORUS:

WITH A BIG ‘OL HEART

WHO CAN LOVE HER LIKE NOBODY CAN

WITH BIG ‘OL KISSES THAT GO ON AND ON

AND NEVER END

WITH A BIG ‘OL SMILE

HE’LL FILL HER WORLD WITH LAUGHTER

SIZE MATTERS, SIZE MATTERS

 

SOMEDAY SHE WANT A BIG ‘OL RING

WITH A BIG ‘OL ROCK THAT SHINES

AND A BIG ‘OL WALK-IN CLOSET

WITH SHOES OF EVERY KIND

YEAH SOMEDAY SHE WANTS A BIG ‘OL BOAT

AND LAY AROUND GETTING A TAN

BUT RIGHT NOW ALL SHE WANTS IS A MAN
