Fifth floor she's up in her dorm
Studying for her midterm
She's had one of those weeks
Where the world it seems is against her
Right on cue a picture pops up on her laptop
She can't pick her cell phone up fast enough

Sometimes you just need a little home
Some "Hey Mom and Dad what's going on?"
I'm just checking in
No there ain't nothing wrong
Sometimes you just need a little home

Well he's tired sits down in the sand
Shoe box in his hand half a world away
And he smiles when he sees who it's from
He lays down his gun, no he can't wait
Cards and letters and something sweet
He takes a bite and reads
How everybody sends their love and he tears up

Sometimes you just need a little home
A little let you know you're not alone
To carry in your heart and keep your spirit strong
Sometimes you just need a little home

Sometimes I'd like to drive back through that little town
And get my feet back on get my feet back on the ground

Sometimes you just need a little home
A little "Hey you've been gone way too long."
Yeah way too long
No matter how grown up you get
No matter how far you roam
Sometimes you just need a little home
Sometimes you just need a little home
"Hey Mom and Dad what's going on?"
