Lyrics

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in trying
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
See my daddy in bed a-dyin'
See his hair is turning grey
He's been working and slaving his life away
(Yeah) he been working so hard
(Yeah) every night and every day
(Yeah) oh, I been working too
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
Now my girl, you're so young and so pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
See my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watch his hair, it's turning grey
He's been working and slaving his life away
(Yeah) he's been working so hard
(Yeah) every night and day
(Yeah) whoa, 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
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
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
