verse
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
I made it all the way to West Virginia
And that's where my heart found
Exactly where I'm supposed to be
It's just south of the Mason Dixon line
It's just south of the Mason Dixon line
verse
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 'til it became so clear
And I could feel those dreams inside shifting gears
'Cause love brought me here
chorus
Mama said home is where the heart is
I made it all the way to West Virginia
And that's where my heart found
Exactly where I'm supposed to be
It's just south of the Mason Dixon line
It's just south of the Mason Dixon line
chorus
She said home is where the heart is
I made it all the way to West Virginia
And that's where my heart found
Exactly where I'm supposed to be
It's just south of the Mason Dixon line
It's just south of the Mason Dixon line
