In this dirty old part of the city
Where the Sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in trying
My girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
oh, yeah
Watch my daddy in bed and dying
Watch his hair been turning gray
He's been working and slaving his life away
oh, yeah, I know it
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we'll ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
Believe me girl
You know, you know it's true
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
oh, yeah
See my daddy in bed and dying
Watch his hair been turning gray
He's been working and slaving his life away
oh, yeah
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we'll ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
Believe me, girl
You know, you know it's true
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we'll ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
I know it's true girl
Come on believe me now
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we'll ever do
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we'll ever do
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we'll ever do
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we'll ever do
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we'll ever do
