If you're reading this
[D]My momma is sitting there
[Em]Looks like I only got a one way ti[C]cket over here
[G]I sure wish I could give you one m[D]ore kiss
[Em]War was just a game we played when we [C]were kids
[C]Well I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my b[G]oots
I'm up here with G[C]od
And we're both wat[D]ching over you
Chorus:
[C]So la[D]y me d[Em]own
[C]In that open field out on the edge of t[D]own
[C]And kn[D]ow my so[Em]ul
[C]Is where my momma always prayed where it would [D]go.
[C]If you're reading t[D]his I'm already ho[G]me.
Verse: same as first
If you're reading 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
Stand up for the innocent and the weak
I'm laying down my gun
Hanging up my boots
Tell dad I don't regret that id follow 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 where it would go
If you're reading this, I'm already home
Verse:
If you're reading this, there is going to 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
Chorus:
So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul is where my momma prayed where that it would go
