Lyrics We Gotta Get Out Of This Place - The Partridge Family

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,
And one thing I know is true,
You're gonna die 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,
Girl, there's a better life for me and you

My little girl, you're so young and pretty,
And one thing I know is true,
You're gonna die before your time is due

See my daddy in bed a-dyin'

See his hair a-turnin' grey
He's been workin and slavin his life away,

I know he's been workin', yeah every day
Slavin' his life away,
He's been workin', babe, he's been
Workin, work work, work,

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
