Richard Thompson - We Got To Get Out Of This Place lyrics

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 dying Watch his hair been turning grey He's been working and slaving his life away, (Oh yes I know) He's been working so hard I've been working too baby, (every night and day) (Chorus) We've gotta get out of this place If it's the last thing we ever do We've gotta get out of this place 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 You'll be dead before your time is due, (I know it) Watch my daddy in bed and dying Watch his hair been turning grey He's been working and slaving his life away (I know) He's been working so hard I've been working too baby (Chorus) Somewhere baby Somehow I know it baby (Chorus) Believe me baby I know it baby You know it too
