And know my soul, is where my momma always prayed that it would go.

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

If you're reading this, halfway round the world, I wont be there
                    C                            G
to see the birth of our little girl. I hope she looks like you, I hope she
D                     Em                         C
fights like me. And stands up for the innocent and

the weak. So I'm laying down my gun, and hangin up my boots. Tell dad I
                      D
don’t regret that I followed in his shoes.

                               C                   G
on and find someone else, and that's okay. Just remember this, I'm in a
D                    Em
better place, where soldiers live in peace and
         C              D
angels sing "amazing grace"

    C  D  Em     C                              D
So lay me down, in that open field out on the edge of town.
