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
