Biography:
The life of a Nashville songwriter can be a bittersweet journey, even in the best of times. The process of having your songs recorded and turned into hits by someone else can be validating, even empowering, but the urge to step out from behind the pen and paper and feel the heat of the stage lights for yourself is undeniable. Jason Matthews has arrived on stage, front and center.
The man that co-wrote Billy Currington’s #1 smash hit ‘Must Be Doin’ Somethin’ Right’ knows that nagging feeling.

That's What Mamas Do
The Strumming Pattern is: D D D DUDU (d=down; u=up)
During verses, it may change slightly-listen to song to figure out
I found this by listening and watching covers and the song, it works pretty well
for the most part.
[Verse 1]
D
She'll change a dirty diaper
G
Wipe a runny nose
D
Get a two day old kool-aid stain
G
right out of your clothes
D
& she'll put her last spare dollar under your pillow
Em G
when you lose a tooth
D
She'll bust down your door
G
& drag you out of bed
D
make you sit right next to her in church
G
wearing your Sunday best
D
& when she bows her head to pray, you can bet
Em G
shes saying one for you
[Chorus]
C D
That's what mamas do
G D
they raise you, ground you
G D
build their whole world around you
G D
with no care for the hell they'll go through
C D
that's what mamas do
[Verse 2]
D
She'll keep up with all your girlfriends
G
scare off the ones she hates
D
She'll get a new grey hair and a wrinkle to spare
G
every time you come home late
D
& when you leave to chase that dream, she's gonna cry when
Em G
she walks by your empty room
D
She'll call and sing you happy birthday
G
when everyone else forgets
D
On your wedding day she'll joke and say
G
where are my grandkids
D
oh & when she get em she'll spoil em rotten
Em G
the way her mama did with you
CHORUS
[Verse 3]
G
But she'll get old and fragile
D
& the end will come too soon
G
& she'll let go and you'll hold on
D G
the way all children do
D G
& you'll miss her, mourn her
D
leave pretty flowers for her
G Em
& you'll cry like the baby she knew
G D
& she'll hear you, guide you
G D
& pray the light finds you
G D Em
She'll never stop watching over you
G D Em
oh until you're up there too
