We Gotta Get Out Of This Place 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, I know

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin' Watched his hair been turnin' grey He's been workin' and slavin' his life away Oh yes I know it

He's been workin' so hard, yeah I've been workin' too, baby, yeah Every night and day, yeah

We gotta get out of this place If it's 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 a-dyin' Watched his hair been turnin' grey, yeah He's been workin' and slavin' his life away I know he's been workin' so hard

I've been workin' too, baby, yeah Every day baby, yeah Wow, 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 Somewhere baby, somehow I know it

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

Believe me baby, I know it baby You know it too
