[00:04.00] @ @
[00:05.00]
[00:06.34] You're reading this, my mama's sittin there
[00:12.00] Look's like I only got a one way ticket over here
[00:18.63] I sure wish I could give you one more kiss
[00:24.71] War was just a game we played when we were kids
[00:31.33] Well I'm layin down my gun and hanging up my boots
[00:38.25] I'm up here with God and we're both watching over you
[00:44.59] So lay me down
[00:51.23] In that open field out on the edge of town
[00:57.77] And know my soul
[01:04.20] Is where my mama always prayed that it would go
[01:10.88] And if you're reading this
[01:14.49] I'm already home
[01:17.12]
[01:21.36] If you're reading this halfway around the world
[01:27.70] I won't be there to see the birth of our little girl
[01:34.40] I hope she looks like you
[01:37.71] I hope she fights like me
[01:41.17] And stands up for the innocent and the weak
[01:47.52] I'm layin down my gun and hanging up my boots
[01:54.51] Tell dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes
[02:01.15] So lay me down
[02:08.09] In that open field out on the edge of town
[02:14.83] And know my soul
[02:21.30] Is where my mama always prayed that it would go
[02:27.79] And if you're reading this
[02:31.11] I'm already home
[02:35.08]
[02:40.52] If you're reading this, there's gonna come a day
[02:48.48] When you'll move on and find someone else, and that's ok
[02:55.14] Just remember this, I'm in a better place
[03:01.92] Where soldiers live in peace and angels sing Amazing Grace
[03:08.52] So lay me down
[03:15.16] In that open field out on the edge of town
[03:22.22] And know my soul
[03:28.80] Is where my mama always prayed that it would go
[03:35.32] And if you're reading this
[03:39.06] If you're reading this...
[03:42.26] I'm already home
[03:45.04]
