Drenched in the nostalgic essence of a bygone era, this heartfelt ballad pays homage to the quintessential southern grandmother's home - a place filled with love, warmth, and life lessons. The songwriters vividly paint a picture of their 'mamaw's' house, where simple pleasures like home-cooked meals, Bible readings and gardening were cherished. They yearn for a time when life was slower and values were simpler. Through their lyrics, they speculate that perhaps our fast-paced world could benefit from these old-fashioned values and slow down to appreciate the small things in life. In essence, this song is not just about their grandmother's house but rather an ode to a lifestyle that seems to be fading away in today's world.
Mamaw's House
Lyrics
(Sorry, y'all, my mamaw called me, I'll, I'll be right back, hello?)
(Whatcha doin' Morgan?)
(Hey, I'm just, I'm writing on-)
It was always hotter than the grease she used to fry that chicken
Smelled like Marlboro Reds and all the butter from her biscuits
And that Lincoln in the driveway, circa 1982
Was on the shiny side of rusty and on the paler side of blue
'Cussin and complainin' weren't allowed in Mamaw's house
If every nightstand had a Bible, every front porch had a swing
If every backyard had a garden, every front door had a screen
Well, maybe this crazy world would straighten up and slow on down
If every town had a Mamaw's house
She'd ask if I was hungry every thirty seconds
And say things like "hellfire," "tarnation" and "I reckon's"
It's where I spent my summers and she put me to work
Shellin' peas and shuckin' corn until my fingers hurt
No tellin' who I'da been without Mamaw's house
If every nightstand had a Bible, every front porch had a swing
If every backyard had a garden, every front door had a screen
Yeah, maybe this crazy world would straighten up and slow on down
If every town had a Mamaw's house
Yeah, and if they did, when I punch the clock
Tonight, I know right where I'd be
I'd walk in and get a big ol' hug
And a bigger glass of tea
If every nightstand had a Bible, every front porch had a swing
If every backyard had a garden, every front door had a screen
Yeah, maybe this crazy world would straighten up and slow on down
If every town had a Mamaw's house
Yeah, maybe this crazy world would straighten up and slow on down
If every town had a mamaw's house
