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
