We Gotta Get Out Of This Place
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
My little girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
Yes, I know
Watch my daddy in bed is dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' gray
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know
He's been workin' so hard
I've been workin' too, baby
Every night and day, day now
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
Yeah, oh yeah
My little girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
Yes, I know
Watch my daddy in bed is dyin'
See his hair been turnin' gray
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know
I've been workin' too, baby
Every, every, every day
Whoa, yeah
Yes, I've been workin', workin', workin', workin'
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
Love, there's a better life for me and you
I know it little girl
We've been workin' now
We gotta get out of here
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
