We Gotta Get Out of This Place

In this dirty old part of the city

Where the sun  refuse to shine

And tell me there ain't no use in tryin'

Now,  my girl, you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true

We'll be dead before you're time is due

See my daddy in bed a dyin'

See his hair been turnin' grey

He's been slavin' and workin' his life away

Yeah

Workin' so hard

Workin' so hard

Workin' so hard

Work, work,  yeah, yeah

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

Boy, there's a better life for me and you

Now, my girl, you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true

You'll be dead before your time is due

Watch my daddy in bed a dyin'

His hair's been turnin' grey

He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

Yeah

He's been workin' so hard

Workin' so hard

Workin' so hard

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

Girl, there's a better life for me and you
