We Got to Get Out of This Place

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 dying
 Watch his hair been turning grey
 He's been working and slaving his life away, (Oh yes I know)
 He's been working so hard
 I've been working too baby, (every night and day)
 (Chorus)
 We've 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
 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 it)
 Watch my daddy in bed and dying
 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 baby,
 (Chorus)
 Somewhere baby
 Somehow I know it baby
 (Chorus)
 Believe me baby
 I know it baby
 You know it too
