Peaceful Lyrics

There's a dirt road leading past my daddy's barn

A quiet little trail that runs down to the farm

Where the cottonwoods sway like a gentle prayer

And the weight of the world just disappears out there

It's peaceful like the sound of the rain

Soft and steady on a windowpane

Like a whisper from the Lord saying "Rest awhile son"

It's a feeling you get when the day is done

Where the fields roll wide and the stars come alive

That's where I find peace and lay down my pride

Oh it's peaceful yeah it's peaceful here tonight

Mama's old porch swing still creaks with the breeze

Where she'd sit down and sing hymns soft as you please

A worn quilt wrapped around her shoulders tight

She'd close her eyes feel the good Lord's light

It's peaceful like the sound of the rain

Soft and steady on a windowpane

Like a whisper from the Lord saying "Rest awhile son"

It's a feeling you get when the day is done

Where the fields roll wide and the stars come alive

That's where I find peace and lay down my pride

Oh it's peaceful yeah it's peaceful here tonight

In a world that's rushin' like a river downstream

I find myself dreamin' of simpler things

The crackle of a fire the touch of the land

And knowing there's more than what I can understand

It's peaceful like the sound of the rain

Soft and steady on a windowpane

Like a whisper from the Lord saying "Rest awhile son"

It's a feeling you get when the day is done

Where the fields roll wide and the stars come alive

That's where I find peace and lay down my pride

Oh it's peaceful yeah it's peaceful here tonight

So when life gets heavy and I need a break

I'll go where the world feels a little less fake

Down that dirt road past the troubles I find

It's peaceful there and it eases my mind

It's peaceful like the sound of the rain

Soft and steady on a windowpane

Like a whisper from the Lord saying "Rest awhile son"

It's a feeling you get when the day is done

Where the fields roll wide and the stars come alive

That's where I find peace and lay down my pride

Oh it's peaceful yeah it's peaceful here tonight
