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 there's one thing I know for true
You'll be dead before your time is due

Watch my daddy in bed, he dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

He's been workin'
He's been workin'
He's been workin'
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

Now my girl, you're so young and pretty
And there's one thing I know for true
You'll be dead before your time is due
Watch my daddy in bed, he dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

He's been workin'
Workin'
He's been workin'
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
(Ahh-ah)

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
We gotta get out of this place

We gotta get out of this place (gotta get out)
We gotta get out of this place (gotta get out)
We gotta get out of this place (gotta get out)
We gotta get out of this place (gotta get out)
We gotta get out of this place (gotta get out)
We gotta get out-
