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



Repeat Chorus
