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


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


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

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

I know it

Watch my daddy in bed and tired

Watch his hair been turning gray
He's been working and slaving his life away
I know


He's been working so hard
I've been working too babe

Every day baby
Yeah yeah yeah yeah


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
Somewhere baby

Somehow I know it baby

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

Believe me baby
I know it baby
You know it too
