[Verse 1]
In this dirty old part of the city
It's where the sun refused to shine
They tell me there ain't no use tryin'
My girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You're gonna die before your time's due, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
But you been workin', come on
Workin', baby
Workin'
You been workin', workin', workin', workin'
[Chorus]
We gotta get outta this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get outta this place
'Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Now, girl, you're so young and pretty
One thing I know is true
You're gonna die before your time is due, yes you will
I seen my daddy in bed, dyin'
I seen his hair turnin' gray
My old man slaved his life away
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, yeah, baby
Woah, yeah (My old man)
Woah, baby (Every day)
Work, work, work, work
[Chorus]
We gotta get outta this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get outta this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
[Post-Chorus]
Hey
Come on, baby
[Outro]
We gotta get outta this place, oh yeah
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get outta this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
You know it's true
Yeah
