[Verse]
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
I know
[Pre-Chorus]
Watch my daddy in bed and tired
Watch his hair been turning gray
He's been working and slaving his life away
Oh yes, I know it
He's been working so hard
I've been working too babe
Every night and day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Now my love you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true, yeah
You'll be dead before your time is due
I know it
[Pre-Chorus]
Some of our best friends are tired
You can see their hair been turning gray
They've been working and slaving their lives away
I know, they've been working so hard
I've been working too, babe
Every day baby
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus]
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
Think about it
For once in your life
It's now or never baby
Come on
