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.
