Lyrics

THE ROAD
(Jason Matthews/Wynn Varble/Brandon Kinney)

Sometimes I just don't know
Where I'm at on the map and out the window
Countryside's flyin' by like this life I chose

Another load-in, another load-out
Pack it up and point the bus toward the next town
Out of time, say goodbye 'cause we can't slow down

No we can't slow down

It stretches out like a river through the darkness
The current takes you and it won't let go
Before you know it it's where your heart is
300 days of the year it's home sweet home
The road

I've got where I can't sleep
Without the rumble of the diesel underneath me
While the wheels hum a steel-belted melody

It sounds so sweet

It stretches out like a river through the darkness
The current takes you and it won't let go
Before you know it it's where your heart is
300 days of the year it's home sweet home
The road

Bridge: Oh I know I've been at least a million miles
But when that crowd sings along it makes it all worthwhile

It stretches out like a river through the darkness
The current takes you and it won't let go
Before you know it it's where your heart is
300 days of the year it's home sweet home
The road

Whoah-oh-oh-oh

Tag: Sometimes I just don't know
Where I'm at on the map and out the window
I've got where I can't sleep
Without the rumble of the diesel underneath me

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.
