If you're reading this
My momma is sitting there
Looks like I only got
A one way ticket over here
I sure wish I
Could give you one more kiss
War was just a game
We played
When we were kids
Well I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
I'm up here with God
And we're both
Watching over you
So lay me down
In that open field
Out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my momma
Always prayed
That it would go
And if you're reading this
I'm already home
If you're reading this
Half way around the world
I won't be there to see
The birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you
I hope she fights like me
And stands up
For the innocent
And the weak
I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
Tell Dad I don't regret
That I followed in his shoes
So lay me down
In that open field
Out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my momma
Always prayed
That it would go
If you're reading this
I'm already home
If you're reading this
There's gonna come a day
You move on
And find someone else
And that's okay
Just remember this
I'm in a better place
Soldiers live in peace
And angels sing
Amazing grace
So lay me down
In that open field
Out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my momma
Always prayed
That it would go
And if you're reading this
If you're reading this
I'm already home
