Tim McGraw Lyrics

14. If You're Reading This

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 

[Chorus]
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 fight like me 
Stand up for the innocent and weak

I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up boots
Tell dad I don’t regret that I followed in his shoes

[Chorus]
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 

[Chorus]
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
