We Gotta Get Out of This Place
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
I can't take anymore, what are we waiting for?
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
You see, my daddy in bed and dying
You see, his hair been turnin' gray
He's been working and slavin' his life away
Every day he's been working, yeah
He's been working, yeah
He's been working, working, working
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
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
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
I can't take anymore, what are we waiting for?
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
You see, my daddy in bed and dying
You see, his hair been turnin' gray
He's been working and slavin' his life away
Every day he's been working, yeah
He's been working, yeah
He's been working, working, working
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
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
