Lady Antebellum - Home Is Where The Heart Is

Deze track Home Is Where The Heart Is komt van het debuutalbum van Lady Antebellum uit 2008.

Weetje: de Mason Dixon line waarover gezongen wordt, is vernoemd naar Charles Mason en Jeremiah Dixon. Zij waren Britten die op verzoek van de Britse landeigenaren in de Verenigde Staten de grens tussen Pennsylvania en Maryland hebben vastgesteld. Die grens is bekend geworden als de Mason-Dixon line. Tijdens de Amerikaanse burgeroorlog werd de lijn min of meer beschouwd als de grens tussen de Noordelijke en zuidelijke staten.

Songtekst:

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
