Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I get murdered in the city
Don't go revengin' in my name
One person dead from such is plenty
No need to go get locked away
[Verse 2]
When I leave your arms
The things that I think of
No need to get over-alarmed
I'm comin' home
[Verse 3]
I wonder which brother is better
Which one our parents love the most
I sure did get in lots of trouble
They seem to let the other go
[Verse 4]
A tear fell from my father's eyes
I wondered what my dad would say
He said, "I love you, and I'm proud of you both
In so many different ways"
[Verse 5]
If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
Don't bother with all my belongings
But pay attention to the list
[Verse 6]
Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
[Verse 7]
Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
[Bridge]
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh
Oh
