We’ve Gotta Get Outta 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, I know

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin’
Watched his hair been turnin’ grey
He’s been workin’ and slavin’ his life away
Yeah, he’s been workin’ so hard, I’ve been workin’ too, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ya, ya, ya, ya

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

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