When I first came to Nashville to write country music, my mother called to see if I would make it home for the Holidays. Since I just started a new job I had to tell her not this year.
When I got off the phone, I got to thinking about Home. So, in the song I go home. It was the first song I recorded in the studio. A girl singer wanted to record it, so I changed one word.

Peace O Earth In Mama's House
Verse
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 you been
Your brother Steve is comin' in
Hope you can make the trip this time
Verse
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 Mamas' 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 Mamas' house
Musical Turn Around
Verse
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
Chorus
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 difference 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...

Great song Jim. I could almost smell Grandma’s cooking from here. Great imagery.
