In this dirty old part of the city
When 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
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watch his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
Oh yes, I know it
He's been workin' so hard (yeah)
I've been workin' too, baby
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
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
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watch 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
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, baby
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
