In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in trying
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
Watch my daddy in bed and dieing
Watch his hair turning gray
I know
He's been working and slaving his life away
I know he's been
He's been working so hard
I've been working too babe
Every night and day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
We gotta get out of this place
If its 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
You'll be dead before your time is due
Watch my daddy in bed and dieing
Watch his hair turning gray
He's been working and slaving his life away
I know
He's been working so hard
I've been working too babe
Every day baby
We gotta get out of this place
If its the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl there's a better life
For me and you
We gotta get out of this place
If its 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
