Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
See my daddy in bed a-dyin'
See his hair is turning gray
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
[Verse 4]
(Yeah) He's been working so hard
(Yeah) Every night and every day
(Yeah) Oh, I been working, too
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Now, my girl, you're so young and so pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
[Verse 7]
See my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watch his hair is turnin' gray
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
[Verse 8]
(Yeah) He's been working so hard
(Yeah) Every night and day
(Yeah) Whoa
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
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
