When I left that town
She said home is where the heart is
And that's where my heart found

And that's where my heart found
Only stayed to save a little money for

It didn't take much time
And that's where my heart found
It didn't take much time
When I left that town
And I'm standing in my veil about to say I do
It's just south of the Mason Dixon Line

This small town life behind for good
(It's just south of the Mason Dixon Line, Line)

Exactly where I'm supposed to be
Mama said home is where the heart is
Mama said home is where the heart is
It's just south of the Mason Dixon Line
Enough gas to make it to the East Coast
That's when I saw the brightest pair of
It's just south of the Mason Dixon Line

And I could feel those dreams inside shifting gears
It took leaving for me to understand
Deep blue eyes walking straight into my life

And then I realize there's something mama always knew
I packed everything I owned
Mama said home is where the heart is
As mama smiles with tear drops in her eyes

I made it all the way to West Virginia
Love is what I really left to find
It's just south of the Mason Dixon Line
When I left that town
And every night we talked till it became so clear
(It's just south of the Mason Dixon Line)
Mama said home is where the heart is
It didn't take much time
I made it all the way to West Virginia
It's just south of the Mason Dixon Line
I made it all the way to West Virginia
And not a single tear was falling

Sometimes your dreams just aren't what life has planned
Exactly where I'm supposed to be
Exactly where I'm supposed to be

It's just south of the Mason Dixon Line
'Cause love brought me here
So sure that I was leaving

I worked third shift at an all night diner
