If You're Reading This

if you're reading this

my mama's sitting there

looks like i only got a

one way ticket over here

i sure wish i could

give you one more kiss

and 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 that it would go

if you're reading this

i'm already home

if you're reading this

halfway 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

she stands up for the

innocent and the weak

i'm laying down my gun

hanging up my boots

tell dad i don't regret that

i've 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 that 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 mama

always prayed that it would go

if you're reading this

if your're reading this

i'm already home
