Lyrics

We Gotta Get Out of This Place

In this dirty old part of the city

Where the sun refused to shine

People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'

My girl you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true

You'll be dead before your time is due!

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

'cause girl, there's a better life for me and you

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 a-dyin'

See his hair been turnin' grey

He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

'cause 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'

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

'cause girl, there's a better life for me and you

Better life for me and you [x8]
