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

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 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 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 gonna 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 town

And know my soul

Is where my mama always prayed

That it would go

If you're reading this

If you're reading this

I'm already home
