The duet received Grammy, CMA and ACM nominations.

Keith Anderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After she had me
It took two nurses to hold me
One nurse to slap me
Doctor turned to mama
And shook his head
Wiped the sweat off his brow
And then he said
As far as I can tell
Ooh, brrr, mama he's a double XL"
By the second grade
I was five foot two
Fifth grade, I was wearin'
A size-twelve shoe
Eighth grade, I was shoppin'
At The Big And Tall
And the coaches had me playin'
High school football
Uncle Roy said, "Boy you'll make the NFL
Ooh brrr son, you're a double XL
[Chorus:]
Double XL, double XL
Don't call me on the phone
Just ring my dinner bell
Double XL, double XL
I'm a lean, mean love machine
That likes to be held
Ooh brrr baby, I'm a double XL
Here we go
County cuties in Texas
String bikinis in Florida
Barbie dolls drivin Lexus' out in California
A skinny, little pretty boy
Ain't what they wanna hold
They want a real man
With meat on his bones
I'll yank their Yankees
Ring their southern bells
They say, "Ooh brrr
We love a double XL"
[Chorus x2]
Well if you have any doubts
Come see for yourself
Why all the girls love a double XL
Ooh brrr, yeah I'm a double XL
Yeah, oh whoa
Triple XL too
The song "XXL" by Keith Anderson is a fun and lighthearted tune that embraces a big and tall stature. The lyrics begin with the singer's birth, where the doctor describes him as a "double XL", indicating that he was already a big baby. As he grows up, the lyrics describe how he reaches over six feet tall by the second grade, already a size twelve shoe by fifth grade, and eventually playing high school football as a big and tall athlete. Throughout the verses, the chorus emphasizes his size, proclaiming "I'm a lean, mean love machine that likes to be held" and "why all the girls love a double XL". The final lyrics are "Triple XL too", indicating that the singer keeps growing even after high school.
The lyrics of this song are clever and humorous, embracing the idea that being big and tall is something to be proud of. The song celebrates this physical trait instead of apologizing for it, which is a refreshing change from the often negative body image messages that we hear in popular music. It offers a playful perspective on the singer's life experiences, with lines such as "I'll yank their Yankees, ring their southern bells" suggesting that the singer is not intimidated by anyone, and that his size and confidence are an asset.
Overall, "XXL" is an entertaining and uplifting song that encourages listeners to embrace their unique physical traits and characteristics, whatever they may be.

Well, mama was exhausted
My birth was quite the challenge for my mother
After she had me
Following my birth
It took two nurses to hold me
I was a large baby and required two nurses to handle me
One nurse to slap me
One nurse had to hit me to get me crying
Doctor turned to mama
The doctor spoke to my mother
And shook his head
The doctor expressed concern
Wiped the sweat off his brow
The doctor was sweating from exertion
And then he said
The doctor gave his diagnosis
"This boy is way off the charts
"You have a very large baby"
As far as I can tell
I haven't seen one like him before
Ooh, brrr, mama he's a double XL"
"Your baby is extremely large"
By the second grade
When I was in second grade
I was five foot two
I was already quite tall
Fifth grade, I was wearin'
By fifth grade, I was already wearing
A size-twelve shoe
Large shoes that most fifth graders wouldn't wear
Eighth grade, I was shoppin'
In eighth grade, I was already buying clothes
At The Big And Tall
From stores we refer to as catering to taller and larger individuals
And the coaches had me playin'
My coaches put me on the football team
High school football
The varsity high school football team
Uncle Roy said, "Boy you'll make the NFL
My uncle thought I could go pro
Ooh brrr son, you're a double XL"
"You're a very large and strong individual"
Double XL, double XL
A nickname that people have given me
Don't call me on the phone
If someone wants to talk to me, they need to come see me in person
Just ring my dinner bell
I like to eat and people know it
I'm a lean, mean love machine
I'm large but also attractive
That likes to be held
Despite my size, I still want affection
Ooh brrr baby, I'm a double XL"
"I'm a very large and strong individual"
County cuties in Texas
Women in rural Texas
String bikinis in Florida
Women wearing revealing bikinis in Florida
Barbie dolls drivin Lexus' out in California
Beautiful and wealthy women in California
A skinny, little pretty boy
Young men who are thin and not strong
Ain't what they wanna hold
They want a man who can offer them something more
They want a real man
They want a man who is big and strong
With meat on his bones
Someone who is large and strong
I'll yank their Yankees
I will get their attention
Ring their southern bells
I will impress southern women
They say, "Ooh brrr
They express admiration or attraction
We love a double XL"
"We love a very large and strong individual"
Well if you have any doubts
If anyone is skeptical
Come see for yourself
They should come meet me in person
Why all the girls love a double XL
Why women are attracted to large and strong men like me
Ooh brrr, yeah I'm a double XL
"Yes, I'm a very large and strong individual"
Triple XL too
I'm even larger than a double XL

This song fits a kid I went to school with. However, he is harmless in sports. Teams were terrified until they figured out he was as vicious as a teddy bear.
@marissasharp9892
Omg, this song is so much fun! 😆 I heard he wrote this for all the big and tall men in his family, LOL! I heard this, a year before my first son was born. Now he’s 15, 6’5”, and still growing! 😂 Think the younger two will be tall XXLs! 😂 Great song, Keith! They don’t write them this fun anymore!
