We Gotta Get Out Of This Place

In this dirty old part of the city

Where the sun refuse to shine

People tell me there ain't no use in trying

My little girl you're so young and pretty

One thing I know is true

You'll be dead before your time is due



See my daddy in bed, he's dying

He know his hair is turning gray

He's been working and slaving his life away

We gotta work, work

We gotta work, work, work, work, work



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



My little girl, you're so young and pretty

One thing I know is true

You'll be dead before your time is due

Yes, you will girl



Hey, see my daddy in bed he's dying

He know his hair is turning gray

He's been working and slaving his life away, yeah

We gotta work, work

We gotta work, work, work, work, work



We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We've gotta get out of this place

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



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
