We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place

(album: More Inspirations - 2023)

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun does refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in trying
No
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 a-dying
Watched his hair been turning grey
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 every 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
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
Watch my daddy in bed a-dying
Watched his hair been turning grey
He's been working and slaving his life away
I know it

He's been working so hard
Every day, every night
I've been working too babe
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

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's true
