If You're Reading This

If you're readin' this

My momma's sittin' 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 layin' down my gun

I'm hanging up my boots

I'm up here with God and we're both watchin' 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

Half way 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

And stands up for the innocent and the weak

I'm layin' down my gun,

I'm hanging 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 hoooommmmmeeee



If you're readin' this,

There's 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 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
