Lyrics

SEND ME SOME SUNSHNE
(Written by Patrick Jason Matthews, Dylan Altman, & Phil Barton)

Dear God, I don’t wanna sound like I’m complaining, complaining
But these days it seems like it’s always raining and raining
It’s hard to find a ray of light when nothing seems to be going right
Dear God, I don’t wanna sound like I’m complaining, oh, but

Send me some blue sky
Send me some good vibes
Send me an end to all of these hard times
Send me a window to see me way to the bright side, oh, my
Send me some white clouds
Over me somehow
We both know I could sure use ‘em right now
I’ve had enough of this grey sky state of mind
Send me some sunshine

Dear God, I know you’re probably kind of busy, forgive me
And I’m not asking for more than you’re willing to give me, but I’m empty
I work hard each and every day but sometimes the dark don’t seem to fade
Dear God, I know you’re probably kind of busy, oh, but

Send me some blue sky
Send me some good vibes
Send me an end to all of these hard times
Send me a window to see me way to the bright side
Send me some white clouds
Over me somehow
We both know I could sure use ‘em right now
I’ve had enough of this grey sky state of mind
Send me some sunshine

INSTRUMENTAL

Send me some white clouds
Over me somehow
We both know I could sure use ‘em right now
I’ve had enough of this grey sky state of mind
Send me some sunshine, send me some sunshine

 

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.
