Lyrics

In this dirty old part of the city Where the sun refuse to shine People tell me there ain't no use in trying 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 and dyin' Watch his hair been turning grey He's been working and slaving his life away Oh yes, I know it He's been working so hard I've been working too babe Every night and day Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah We gotta get out of this place If its the last thing we ever do We gotta get out of this place 'Cause 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 and dyin' Watch his hair been turning grey He's been working and slaving his life away I know He's been working so hard I've been working too babe Every day baby Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah We gotta get out of this place If its 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 its 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
