We Gotta Get Out Of This Place Songtext / Lyric

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

See my daddy in bed a-dyin´
See his hair been turnin´ grey
He´s been workin´ and slavin´ his life away
Oh yes I know it

(Yeah!) He´s been workin´ so hard
(Yeah!) I´ve been workin´ too, baby
(Yeah!) Every night and day
(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
´cause girl, there´s a better life for me and you

Now my girl you´re so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true, yeah
You´ll be dead before your time is due, I know it

See my daddy in bed a-dyin´
See his hair been turnin´ grey, yeah
He´s been workin´ and slavin´ his life away
I know he´s been workin´ so hard

(Yeah!) I´ve been workin´ too, baby
(Yeah!) Every day baby
(Yeah!) Whoa!
(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
Somewhere baby, somehow I know it

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
Believe me baby
I know it baby
You know it too
