Intro: D G Em7 Asus4
D G
I felt I was spinning my wheels
Em7 Asus4
Before too long the road was calling
D G
I packed everything I own
Em7 Asus4 D G
So sure that I was leaving this small town life behind for good
Em7 Asus4
And not a single tear was falling
Bm G
It took leaving for me to understand
Bm Asus4 A
Sometimes your dreams just aren’t what life has planned
Chorus
D G Em7
Mama said home is where the heart is
Asus4 D
When I left that town
G Em7
I made it all the way to West Virginia
Asus4
And that’s where my heart found
Bm A G
Exactly where I’m supposed to be
D/F# Em7
It didn’t take much time
A NC D G
It’s just south of the Mason Dixon line
Em7 Asus4 D
It’s just south of the Mason Dixon line
D G Em7 Asus4
D G
I worked third shift at an all night diner
Em7 Asus4
Only stayed to save a little money for
D G
Enough gas to make it to the east coast
Em7 Asus4
That’s when I saw the brightest pair of
D G Em7 Asus4
Deep blue eyes walking straight into my li--fe
Bm G
And every night we talked till it became so clear
Bm Asus4 A
And I could feel those dreams inside shifting gears
Asus4 A
Cause love brought me here
D G Em7
Mama said home is where the heart is
Asus4 D
When I left that town
G Em7
I made it all the way to West Virginia
Asus4
And that’s where my heart found
Bm A G
Exactly where I’m supposed to be
D/F# Em7
It didn’t take much time
A D G
It’s just south of the Mason Dixon line
Em7 Asus4 D
It’s just south of the Mason Dixon line
Bm G
And I’m standing in my veil about to say I do
Em7 A D Dsus2 D
As mama smiles with tear drops in her eyes
Bm G
And then I realize there’s something mama always knew
C G A
Love is what I really left to find
D G Em7
She said home is where the heart is
Asus4 D
When I left that town
G Em7
I made it all the way to West Virginia
Asus4
And that’s where my heart found
Bm A G
Exactly where I’m supposed to be
D/F# Em7
It didn’t take much time
A D G
It’s just south of the Mason Dixon line
Em7 Asus4 D
It’s just south of the Mason Dixon line
(Repeat last two lines to the end)
