Lyrics
In this dirty old part of the city
Where 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
See my daddy in bed a dyin'
See his hair been turnin' grey
He's been slavin' and workin' his life away, yeah
Workin' so hard
Workin' so hard
Workin' so hard
Work, work, 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
You'll be dead before your time is due
Watch my daddy in bed a dyin'
His hair's been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away, yeah
He's been workin' so hard
Workin' so hard
Workin' so hard
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
