We've Gotta Get out of This Place

In this dirty old part of the city

When the sun refused to shine

People 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

You'll be dead before your time is due, I know

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'

Watch his hair been turnin' grey

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

Oh yes, I know it

He's been workin' so hard (yeah)

I've been workin' too, baby

Every night and day

(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 pretty

And one thing I know is true, yeah

You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'

Watch his hair been turnin' grey, yeah

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

I know he's been workin' so hard

(Yeah)

I've been workin' too, baby (yeah)

Every day baby

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

Somewhere baby, somehow I know it, baby

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

Believe me, baby

I know it, baby

You know it too
