We Gotta Get Out Of This Place

(album: The Partridge Family Notebook - 1972)

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

My little girl, you're so young and pretty,
And one thing I know is true,
You're gonna die 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,
Girl, there's a better life for me and you

My little girl, you're so young and pretty,
And one thing I know is true,
You're gonna die before your time is due

See my daddy in bed a-dying
See his hair a-turning grey
He's been workin and slavin his life away,

I know he's been working, yeah every day
Slaving his life away,
He's been working, babe, he's been
Workin, work work, work,

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
