GEORGIA PLATES
(Patrick Jason Matthews/Joe Leathers/Sam Tinnesz)

She was a Buckhead debutante
Bulldog sticker on her daddy bought Escalade
I was a Georgia Southern roughneck
Working for a paycheck catching keys all day
Parking Georgia plates

She handed me her pink ticket
Smiling saying wait a minute
Tell me, sugar, what’s your name
How ‘bout you keep the keys and turn me on
These rich boys all rub me wrong
So I fired her up and we rode away
Rocking Georgia plates

We put some red clay on that shiny black Escalade
Melted moonlight into sunrise
And wherever I go to this day
I still see her face everytime I see Georgia plates, Georgia plates

Somewhere south of Kennesaw
She whispered with a Southern drawl
Let’s pull off where the tall pines sway
We lit a wild night wildfire left a bed of wildflowers
Smoking as we drove away
Behind those Georgia plates

We put some red clay on that shiny black Escalade
Melted moonlight into sunrise
And wherever I go to this day
I still see her face everytime I see Georgia plates

H-O-T-D-A-W-G
Fulton Co. sitting right under that peach
It said H-O-T-D-A-W-G
I wonder if she ever thinks about me

And that red clay on that shiny black Escalade
Melting moonlight into sunrise
Yeah, wherever I go to this day
I still see her face every time I see Georgia plates
Georgia plates, Georgia plates, Georgia plates

 

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.
