They say home is where the heart is Why did I ever leave First born and the first To spread my wings Don't you worry 'bout me mama I'm not goin' too far You're in the songs they're playing on the radio They keep me close to your heart When I hear the piano play The beginning of the dance These tears fall down like Tennessee rain Brings you near once again Your love holds me together You're my rock and you've made me better Dear mom You're wise and strong You're the heart of a country song Yea you're wild like tequila But you're holy like a prayer And I swear your voice sounds like three chords and the truth when you Tell me that you'll always be there When I hear the piano play The beginning of the dance These tears fall down like Tennessee rain Brings you near once again Your love holds me together You're my rock and you've made me better Dear mom You're wise and strong You're the heart of a country song When I hear the piano play The beginning of the dance These tears fall down like Tennessee rain Brings you near once again Your love holds me together You're my rock and you've made me better Dear mom You're wise and strong You're the heart of a country song
