Transposed by: Eddie Garcia ([email protected]) If you’re reading this and my mama’s sitting there Looks like I only got a one-way ticket over here Sure wish I could give you one more kiss War was just a game we played when we were kids Well I’m laying down my gun I’m hanging up my boots I’m up here with God and we’re both watching 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 reading this I’m already home… If you’re reading this half way round 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 laying down my gun I’m hanging up my boots Tell dad I don’t regret that I followed in his shoes… repeat Chorus If you’re reading this there’s gonna come a day When you’ll move on and find someone else and that’s okay Just remember this I’m in a better place Where soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace… repeat Chorus If you’re reading this… If you’re reading this - I’m already home.
