Chris Thompson - We Gotta Get Out of This Place lyrics

Mann-Weil 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 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 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 Woah 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 baby. 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 You know it too.
