In this dirty old part of the city,
Where the sun refuse to shine,
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'.
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.

Watch my daddy in bed and tired,
Watch his hair been turnin' gray.
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away.
Oh yes, I know,
(Work) He's been workin' so hard.
(Work) I've been workin' too, baby.
(Work) Every night and day.
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,
'Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you.

Now my girl, you're so young and pretty,
And one thing I know is true, yeah.
You'll be dead before your time is due.

See my daddy in bed a-dyin'
See his hair been turnin' gray.
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away,
I know he's been workin' so hard.
(Yeah) I've been workin' too babe.
(Yeah)Every day, baby.
(Yeah) Waaaa!
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.
Somewhere, baby.
Somehow I know it, baby.

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.
Believe me, baby.
I know it, baby.
You know it too.
