Country Music Lyrics

If you're reading this

If you're reading this - Tim McGraw

If you're reading this
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 reading this
I'm already home

If you're reading this
Halfway 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
And 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 mama always prayed that it would go
If you're reading this
I'm already home

If you're reading this
There's gonna come a day
That 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

So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my mama always prayed for it to go
If you're reading this
If you're reading this
I'm already home
