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
