A Little Home

Fifth floor She's up in her dorm Studyin' for her midterms 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 goin' on? I'm just checkin' 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 Sometimes 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 Oh, no matter how far you roam Sometimes you just need a little home Home sweet home Sometimes you just need a little home "Hey, mom and dad, what's goin' on?"
