Lyrics We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place - The Angels

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

See my daddy in bed a-dying
See his hair is turning grey
He's been working and slaving his life away

(Yeah) he been working so hard
(Yeah) every night and every day
(Yeah) oh, I been working too
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you

Now my girl, you're so young and so pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due

See my daddy in bed a-dying
Watch his hair, it's turning grey
He's been working and slaving his life away

(Yeah) he's been working so hard
(Yeah) every night and day
(Yeah) whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
