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


               
When I leave your arms
                      
The things that I think of
                  
No need to get over alarmed
        
I’m comin' home

(Repeats Intro)


                             
I wonder which brother is better
                       
Which one our parents love the most
                             
I sure did get in lots of trouble
                          
They seemed to let the other go


                          
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

(Repeats Intro)

                             
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


                          
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
                                    
Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing
                                  
Like the love that let us share our name
