Intro

Verse 1

If youre reading 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. War was

just a game we played when we were kids. So I'm laying down my gun, and

hangin up my boots. Im up here with God and were both watching over you.

Chorus

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 reading this, I'm already home.

Verse 2

If you're reading this, halfway round 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. So I'm laying down my gun, and hangin up my boots. Tell dad I

don’t regret that I followed in his shoes.

Chorus

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 reading this, I'm already home.

Bridge

Verse 3

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"

Chorus

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 reading this, if you're reading this

I'm already home.
