We Gotta Get Out Of This Place
Partridge Family · The Partridge Family Notebook [1972]
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
