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 where it would go.

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

Stand up for the innocent and the weak

I m laying down my gun

Hanging up my boots

Tell dad I don t regret that id follow 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 where it would go

If you re reading this, I m already home

If you re reading this, there is going to 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 prayed where that it would go

If you re reading this

If you re reading this

I m already home
