Brandi Carliile Murder in the City song lyrics

If I get murdered in the city

Don't go revenging in my name

A person dead from such is plenty

There's no sense in get locked away

When I leave your arms

The things I think of

No need to get over alarmed

I'm coming home

I wonder which of us is better

Which one our parents loved the most

I sure did get in lots of trouble

They seemed to let the other go

A tear fell from my father's eye

I wondered what my dad would say

He said, "I love you and I'm proud of you both,

In so many different ways"

If I get murdered in the city

Go and read the letter in my desk

Don't bother with all my belongings, No

Pay attention to the list

Make sure my wife knows I love her

Make sure my daughter knows the same

Always remember there is nothing worth sharing

Like the love that let us share our name

Always remember there is nothing worth sharing

Like the love that let us share our name
