Story behind the song
I wrote this song after I got to Nashville in November of 1993.My mother called me to see if I was going to make it home for Christmas.Well,my van motor blew up in Glade Springs VA and I had to rent a U-Haul and I just got a job,so I told her I wouldn't be coming home for the holidays. Then I sat down and wrote this song,where I do go home.
Lyrics
PEACE ON EARTH IN MAMA'S HOUSE ©1994 Jim Lane Sung by: Brenda Smith About this time of year,when the leaves have turned 'round here Church bells are ringin' and mama's on the line She says "Son (Honey) ..how've,your brother Steve is comin' in Hope you can make the trip this time" Well,I can almost see her face,I'm gettin' closer to that place Headin' out of Nashville on highway twenty four I can smell those pumpkin pies,brings the tears to my eyes I know she'll be waitin' at the door CHORUS And there's peace on earth in my Mama's house Good old country cookin' brings water to my mouth I wish daddy could see how we all turned out... When things seem the worst,there's always peace on earth Always peace on earth in mama's house When this life gets to me and the things on TV Get me started thinkin' and I feel like givin' up I remember back home,then I pick up the phone That's when I start packin' that old truck BRIDGE Well,I see my brothers and sister up there now and then We all agree she's our closest friend And there ain't no di'ffrence in the love that we share We just thank the Lord 'cause Mama's always there CHORUS And there's peace on earth in my mama's house Good old country cookin',I wish I could be there now 'Cause when things seem the worst,I think of my home first... Where there's always peace on earth in mama's house.. Yeah,there's always peace on earth... in mama's...house....
