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 trying My little girl you're so young and pretty One thing I know is true You'll be dead before your time is through See my daddy in bed, he's dying You know his hair is turning gray He's been working and slaving his life away We gotta work Work We gotta work Work, 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 My little girl you're so young and pretty One thing I know is true You'll be dead before your time is through Yes, you will, girl See my daddy in bed,he's dying You know his hair is turning gray He's been working and slaving his life away Yeah, we gotta work Work We gotta work Work, 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
