[Verse 1]

Fifth floor

She is up in her dorm

Studying for her midterms

She is had one of those weeks

Where the world it seems is against her

Right on cue a picture pops up on her laptop

She cannot pick her cell phone up fast enough

[Chorus]

Sometimes you just need a little home

Some "hey mom and dad what is going on?

I am just checking in

No, there is nothing wrong”

Sometimes you just need a little home

[Verse 2]

Well, he is tired

Sits down in the sand

Shoe box in his hand

Half a world away

And he smiles

When he sees who it is from

He lays down his gun

No, he cannot wait

Cards and letters and something sweet

He takes a bite and reads

How everybody sends their love and he tears up

[Chorus]

Sometimes you just need a little home

A little let you know you are not alone

To carry in your heart

And keep your spirit strong

Sometimes you just need a little home

Sometimes

I would 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 have 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 is going on?”
