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 |
