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

Mmmm Well he's tired, sits down in the sand

Shoebox in his hand, half a world away

And he smiles when he sees who it's from

He lays down his gun, oh he can't wait

Cards and letters and something sweet

He takes a bite and reads

How everybody sends their love

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 spirits 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

Oh, 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
