[Verse 1]
Well, I'm sitting in the back porch
On the northwest side of town
Picturing last night, way up in the city
Where they shot my baby down

[Chorus]
She could be dying, oh no
Well, it can't much matter to you
I found her lying, yeah, yeah, yeah
Near the ballpark down at school

[Verse 2]
The sheriff came up to question my brother
I could have dropped down to the floor
Before I could turn 'round, he was running for cover
Like a billy goat through the door

[Chorus]
She could be dying, oh no
Well, it can't much matter to you
I found her lying, yeah, yeah, yeah
Near the ballpark down at school

Whoo
[Verse 3]
Hold on, baby, I need you, honey
Won't you bring yourself around?
You gotta help me, help me, mama
We're gonna rip this crazy town

[Chorus]
She could be dying, oh no
Well, it can't much matter to you
I found her lying, yeah, yeah, yeah
Near the ballpark down at school

[Verse 4]
The sheriff came up to question my brother
I could have dropped down to the floor
Before I could turn 'round, he was running for cover
Like a billy goat through the door

[Chorus]
She could be dying, oh
Well, it can't much matter to you
I found her lying, yeah, yeah, yeah
Near the ballpark down at school

[Verse 5]
Well, I'm sitting in the back porch
On the northwest side of town
Picturing last night, way up in the city
Where they shot my baby down
[Chorus]
She could be dying, oh no
Well, it can't much matter to you
I found her lying, yeah, yeah, yeah
Near the ballpark down at school

[Outro]
Whoo
