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]
