[Verse 1]
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in trying
No, no, no
[Verse 2]
Now my girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You could be dead before your time is due
I know
[Verse 3]
I watch my daddy in bed a'dyin'
Watch his hair been turnin' gray
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
Slavin' and workin', workin' and slavin'
[Verse 4]
Whoa, he's been workin' so hard
Whoa, I've bene workin' too, babe
Whoa, every night and day
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
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
For me and you
[Verse 6]
Now my girl, you're so young and pretty
One thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
I know
[Verse 7]
Watch my daddy in bed a'dyin'
Seen his hair turnin' gray
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
His life away, yeah
[Verse 8]
Whoa, I been workin' so hard
Whoa, I've been workin' too, babe
Whoa, every night and day
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
We gotta get out of
Don't let me be misunderstood
Yeah, yeah, don't let me be mis-under
Bury my body, Lord, I don't care where
Yeah, yeah, bury my body, Lord, I don't care where
Bury my body 'cause my soul is gonna live with God
We gotta get out of this place
Oh, yeah
[Verse 11]
We gotta get out of here
Bury my body, Lord, I don't care where
If it's the last thing we ever do
Bury my body 'cause my soul is gonna live with God
