If You're Reading This

If you're readin' this
 And my mama's sittin' there
 Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
 I sure wish I could give you one more kiss
 And war was just a game we played when we were kids
 Well, I'm layin' down my gun
 I'm hangin' 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 mama 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 hangin' 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 mama always prayed that it would go
 If you're readin' this
 I'm already home
 ♪
 If you're readin' this
 There's goin' to come a day
 You'll move on and find some one else, and that's ok
 Just remember this
 I'm in a better place
 Where 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 mama always prayed that it would go
 If you're readin' this
 If you're readin' this
 I'm already home
