If you're this My Mommas 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 game we played when we were kids
I'm laying down my gun hanging up boots I'm up here with God and we're both watching over you
[Chorus]: So lay me down In that open field out on the edge of town And know my soul Is my momma always prayed That it would go And if you're reading this I'm already home
If you're this Half way around the world I won't be there To see birth of our little girl I hope she looks like you I hope fights like me Stand up for the innocent and weak
I'm laying down my I'm hanging up boots Tell dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes
[Chorus]
If you're reading this There's to come a day When you'll move on And find some one else And that's OK Just remember this I'm in a better place Where live in peace And angels sing amazing grace.
