If you're readin' this
My Momma's sittin' there
Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
Sure wish I could give you one more kiss
And war was just a game we played when we were kids
Well I'm layin' down my gun
Hangin' 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 that it would go
If you're readin' this
I'm already home

If you're readin' 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
Stands up for the innocent
And the weak
I'm layin' down my gun
Hangin' 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 Momma always prayed that it would go
If you're readin' this
I'm already home

If you're readin' this
There's gonna come a day
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 Momma always prayed that it would go
If you're readin' this

If you're readin' this
I'm already home
