Lyrics We Gotta Get Out of This Place (Live) - Grand Funk Railroad

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin
My little girl you're so young and pretty yeah
And one thing i know is true
You're gonna die before your time is through

You see my daddy in bed a dyin
You see his hair is turnin gray
He's been workin and slalvin his life away
My daddy's been workin workin every day
Workin slavin his life away
Workin oh yeah my daddy's been work work work oh yeah

We gotta get outta this place if it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get outta this place girl there's a better life for me and you
Me and you, babe

My daddy's been workin workin slavin his life away
Workin ah workin every day work work work oh yeah
We gotta get outta this place if it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get outta this place girl there's a better life for me and you
For me and you babe

We gotta get outta this place if it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get outta this place girl there's a better life
I said girl there's a better life girl there's a better life for me and you
There's gotta be a better life for me and you
