If You're Reading This - Tim McGraw

If you're reading 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 a game we played when we were kids

I'm laying down my gun

I'm hanging up 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 momma always prayed

That it would go

And if you're reading this

I'm already home

If you're reading this

Half way around the would

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

Stands up for the innocent and the weak

I'm laying down my gun

I'm hanging up 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 momma always prayed that it would go

And if you're reading this

I'm already home

If you're reading this

There's going 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 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 Momma always prayed that it would go

And if you're reading this

I'm already home
