We Gotta Get Out of This Place (From the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 'Honey Don’t!')

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
Now, my girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You're gonna die before your time is due, I know it
Watch my mama in bed a-dyin'
Watched her hair been turnin' grey
She's been workin' and slavin' her life away
Oh, yes, I know it
(Yeah) She's been workin' so hard
(Yeah) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah) Every night and day
(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
'Cause, 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, yeah
You're gonna die before your time is due, I know it
Watch my mama in bed a-dyin'
Watched her hair been turnin' grey, yeah
She's been workin' and slavin' her life away
You know she's been working so hard
(Yeah) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah) Every night, baby
(Yeah) Woah
(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
Somehow I know it, baby
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
Believe me, baby
I know it, baby
You know it too
