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 a-dying
Watch his hair been turning gray, yeah
He's been working and slaving his life away
Oh yes, I know

(Yeah!) He's been working so hard
(Yeah!) I've been working too, baby
(Yeah!) Every night and 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
'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 a-dying
Watch his hair been turning gray, yeah
He's been working and slaving his life away
I know he's been working so hard

(Yeah!) I've been working too, baby
(Yeah!) Every day, baby
(Yeah!) Oh!
(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
Somewhere, baby, somehow I know it

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, baby
And you know it too
