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
