Listen & Lyrics: ‘Tall Guys’ By Maren Morris

Maren Morris created an ode to her husband Ryan Hurd with “Tall Guys.”

The country singer co-wrote the song with Natalie Hemby and Aaron Raitiere. She sings about Hurd and the pros of loving someone that is tall. Who knew that there were so many pros to it?

“I’m 5’1”, and a lot of people who meet me are shocked that I’m so short,” Maren Morris told Variety. “Then Ryan is 6’3”, clearing a full foot over me. This is probably one of my favorite lyrics on this record, because it’s so ridiculous.”

It was actually Hemby who had the title and knew that Morris would get a kick out of it.

“The song says, ‘And we fly first class because it’s the only way his knees fit,’ which is so true and made Ryan howl with laughter. I said, “We’ve got to write this in a way where we end the chorus with ‘Hey, I like all shapes and sizes, but there’s just something about a tall guy.’” But everyone is tall standing next to me. So it felt inclusive, still!”

Maren Morris “Tall Guys” Lyrics:

Some people like the beach
Some people like the mountains
Some are wishing on the stars
Or throwing pennies in a fountain

But when it comes to a kiss that’ll blow my mind
I’m always looking for new heights

Yeah, they keep me looking up
When I’m feeling down
I can always find ‘em
In the middle of a crowd
When I can’t see over
He puts me on his shoulders
I can wear my heels real high
I’m lover of all types
But there’s something ‘bout tall guys, tall guys

We’re always drinking top shelf
‘Cause he can always reach it
And we fly first class
‘Cause it’s the only way his knees fit

We may not always see eye to eye
But a different point of view’s alright

‘Cause he keeps me looking up
When I’m feeling down
I can always find him
In the middle of a crowd
When I can’t see over
He puts me on his shoulders
I can wear my heels real high
I’m lover of all types
But there’s something ‘bout tall guys, tall guys

Yeah, they keep me looking up
When I’m feeling down
I can always find ‘em
In the middle of a crowd
When I can’t see over
He puts me on his shoulders
I can wear my heels real high
I’m lover of all types
But there’s something ‘bout tall guys

They always know the weather
Tell me there’s nothing better
