[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 there's one thing I know is true:
You'll be dead before your time is due
I know, I know
[Verse 3]
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
See your hair been turnin' grey, yeah
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know, I know, I know
[Pre-Chorus]
(Yeah) He's been workin' so hard
(Yeah) I've been workin' hard, too, baby
(Yeah) Every night and day
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Yeah
[Chorus]
We gotta gеt out of this place
If it's the last thing we еver do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
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 there's one thing I know is true:
You'll be dead before your time is due
I know, I know
[Verse 3]
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
See your hair been turnin' grey, yeah
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know, I know, I know
[Pre-Chorus]
(Yeah) He's been workin' so hard
(Yeah) I've been workin' hard, too, baby
(Yeah) Every night and day
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Yeah
[Chorus]
We gotta gеt out of this place
If it's the last thing we еver do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
