If you’re reading this half way around the world
So lay me down
So lay me down
And know my soul
I’m up here with God and we’re both watching over you
When you move on and find someone else and that’s okay
I sure wish I could give you one more kiss
In that open field out on the edge of town
And stands up for the innocent and the weak
And know my soul
I won’t be there to see the birth of our little girl
I’m laying down my gun, I’m hanging up my boots
Where soldiers live in peace and angels sing "Amazing Grace"
Just remember this I’m in a better place
So lay me down
Is where my momma always prayed that it would go
Well I’m laying down my gun, I’m hanging up my boots
If you’re reading this there’s gonna come a day
In that open field out on the edge of town
I hope she looks like you, I hope she fights like me
And war was just a game we played when we were kids
Tell dad I don’t regret that I followed in his shoes
If you’re reading this I’m already home
And know my soul
Is where my momma always prayed that it would go
In that open field out on the edge of town
Is where my momma always prayed that it would go
If you’re reading this I’m already home
