We Gotta 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 tryin' My little girl, you're so young and pretty, And one thing I know is true, You're gonna die before your time is due 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 My little girl, you're so young and pretty, And one thing I know is true, You're gonna die before your time is due See my daddy in bed a-dyin' See his hair a-turnin' grey He's been workin and slavin his life away, I know he's been workin', yeah every day Slavin' his life away, He's been workin', babe, he's been Workin, work work, work, 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 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
