We Gotta Get Out Of This Place lyrics

(feat. Wynonna Judd)
(Mann/Weil)

[Originally by The Animals]

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 tired
Watch his hair been turning gray
He s been working and slaving his life away
Oh yes, I know it
He s been working so hard
I ve been working too babe
Every night and day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

We gotta get out of this place
If its 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 ll be dead before your time is due
I know it

Watch my daddy in bed and tired
Watch his hair been turning gray
He s been working and slaving his life away
I know

He s been working so hard
I ve been working too babe
Every day baby
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

We gotta get out of this place
If its the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there s a better life
For me and you
Somewhere baby
Somehow I know it baby

We gotta get out of this place
If its the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there s a better life for me and you
Believe me baby
I know it baby
You know it too
