In this dirty old part of the city |
|
Where the sun refused to shine |
|
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin' |
|
My girl, you're so young and pretty |
|
And one thing I know is true |
|
You'll be dead before your time is due |
|
We gotta get out of this place |
|
If it's the last thing that we ever do |
|
We gotta get out of this place |
|
'Cause, girl, there's a better life for me and you |
|
My girl, you're so young and pretty |
|
And one thing I know is true |
|
You'll be dead before your time is due |
|
See my daddy in bed a dyin' |
|
See his hair been turnin' grey |
|
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away |
|
We gotta get out of this place |
|
If it's the last thing that we ever do |
|
We gotta get out of this place |
|
'Cause, girl, there's a better life for me and you |

Better life for me and you, better life for me and you (x4) |
