I felt I was spinning my wheels Before too long the road was calling I packed everything I own So sure that I was leaving this small town life behind for good And not a single tear was falling It took leaving for me to understand Sometimes your dreams just aren't what life has planned
[Chorus] Mama said home is where the heart is When I left that town I made it all the way to West Virginia And that's where my heart found Exactly where I'm supposed to be It didn't take much time It's just south of the Mason Dixon line It's just south of the Mason Dixon line
I worked third shift at an all night diner Only stayed to save a little money for Enough gas to make it to the east coast That's when I saw the brightest pair of Deep blue eyes walking straight into my life And every night we talked till it became so clear And I could feel those dreams inside shifting gears Cause love brought me here
[Repeat Chorus]
And I'm standing in my veil about to say I do As mama smiles with tear drops in her eyes And then I realize there's something mama always knew Love is what I really left to find
