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.
