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'
 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
