Murder in the City Lyrics

2024 Broadway
Swept Away the Musical - Murder in the City Lyrics

The song is written by The Avett Brothers.

If I get murdered in the city
Don't go revenging 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 coming home

I wonder which brother 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 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"

If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
Don't bother with all my belongings
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
