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

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

For me and you

Watch my daddy in bed and tired

Watch his hair been turning gray

He's been working and slaving his life away

He's been working so hard

He's been working so hard

I've been working so hard

Want to get away

Want to get away get away

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

'Cause there's a better life

For me and you

For me and you

In this dirty old part of the city

Where the sun refuse to shine

You in time for long time mistrey

We gotta get out of this place

We gotta get out of this place

We gotta get out of this place

It's the last thing we do

It's the last thing we do

It's the last thing we do

It's the last thing we do
