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 Im laying down my gun ... Im hanging up my boots
Im up here with God and were 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 ... Im already home
If you're reading this ... half way around the world
I wont 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
Im laying down my gun ... hanging up my boots
Tell dad I dont 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 ... Im already home
BREAK
If you're reading this ... theres going to come a day
You move on and find someone else and thats okay
Just remember this ... Im 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 where that it would go
If you're reading this .. if youre reading this ... Im already home
