Full Size

from Patchwork by Dusty Woods

/

about

(3:01) I'm built solid, ain't built for pretty / if you're gonna be a bear, might as well be a grizzly... We're not all slim and sexy (well, at least not slim). A song about living life "full size". Fun, driving country song with a bit of wry, non-politically-correct truth to it.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Well I guess y'all noticed I'm the jumbo economy size;
Yeah, but that's ok, there's no need to sympathize
I guess you could say I accept my fate,
Besides there's more of me to appreciate
And I'm a male model seen through my baby's eyes

Refrain
Well, don't you know that I'm full size, I ain't no compact
Yeah, this is me folks it ain't no act,
I never was one to do anything halfway
I'm a big old truck, not a mini van,
I can't be nothing but what I am
There's no denyin', people, I'm full size

Verse 2
Well you won't ever see me eating in a sushi bar
And you can look all you want, you won't find a phone in my car.
I like good country music like Haggard and Jones,
Play'n something else, son, you just leave me alone
I'll be rockin' on the porch with my baby and my old guitar

Refrain:
'Cause you know that I'm full size, I ain't no compact
This is me folks it ain't no act,
I never was one to do anything halfway
Yeah, I'm built solid, ain't built for pretty,
If you're going to be a bear you might as well be a grizzly
There's no denyin' people I'm full size
Well, don't criticize till you've tried living full size
(Yeah, honey, could I get some gravy on them fries? Thank you, ma'am!)
