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
See my daddy in bed
and dying
see his hair is
turning grey
He's been working and
slaving his life away
He's been working
so hard
Every night and
every day
Oh I've been working too
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 so pretty
and one thing I know
is true
You'll be dead before
your time is due
See my daddy in bed
and dying
watch his hair is
turning grey
He's been working and
slaving his life away
He's been working
so hard
Every night and day
Woah
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
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

we ever do
We gotta get out
of this place
