Heart of a Country Song

They say home's 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

Yeah, 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, yeah
