Lyrics

ONE SIZE TOO BIG
(Jason Matthews/Dan Isbell)

He must have had 'em resoled a hundred times
Custom made Texas leather jet black size nine
I'd stuff socks in the toes and put my little feet in
All I ever wanted was to be like him

Now I'm all grown up and it's sinking in
Even though I'm taller and a good size ten
No matter what I do Daddy's cowboy boots will never fit
They'll always be one size too big

He stood ten feet tall at five foot nine
Had the strength of three men and the faith of five
Nothing ever broke that he couldn't repair
With a little blood and sweat and Baptist prayer
Now I'm all grown up and it's sinking in
Even though I'm taller and a good size ten

No matter what I do Daddy's cowboy boots will never fit
They'll always be one size too big
Just wanna follow in his footsteps
And leave behind some footprints
Heading in the same direction

'Cause I'm all grown up and it's sinking in
Even though I'm taller and a good size ten
No matter what I do Daddy's cowboy boots will never fit
They'll always be one size too big

He must have had 'em resoled a hundred times
Custom made Texas leather jet black size nine

 

Jason Matthews was born in Harrell's Store, North Carolina. At fifteen he saw Eric Clapton on television and became obsessed with writing songs. 

His first industry fan, WRFX DJ Macon in Charlotte, gave Matthews' demo to legendary musical comedy team Pinkard and Bowden, who subsequently invited Matthews to be their roadie and in-house writer. After a year on the road, he settled in Nashville to pursue his dream of becoming a hit songwriter. 

In 2006, he landed his first Number One with Billy Currington's version of his song, “Must Be Doin' Something Right.” This earned him the coveted Music Row Magazine Breakthrough Writer Of The Year award and several ASCAP awards. 

In 2008, Jason released the critically acclaimed album called "Hicotine" and the single "That's What Mamas Do". 

Jason is an artist with Valhalla Music Group.
