If you're reading this...and my mama's sitting there-
Looks like I only got a one-way ticket over here.
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 mama always prayed they'd ever go
If you're reading this
I'm already home.
If you're reading this...half way round 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 mama always prayed they'd ever go...
If you're reading this
I'm already home.
If you're reading this...there's gonna come a day-
When you'll move on and find someone else and that's okay.
Just remember this...I'm in a better place-
Where 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 mama always prayed they'd ever go
If you're reading this
If you're reading this -
I'm already home.
