歌詞
[Verse 1]
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me it ain't no use in tryin'
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
See my daddy in bed a-dyin'
See his hair turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know
[Chorus]
Has he been workin', yeah
Every day, slavin' his life away
He's been workin', baby
He's been a-workin', work, work, work
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Mmm, yeah
[PreChorus]
My little girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
Yes, you will
[Chorus]
See my daddy in bed a-dyin'
See his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
Yes, I know
[Chorus]
Mmm, he's been workin', yeah
He's been workin', yeah
Whoa
He's been workin', work, work, work
[Verse 4]
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
[Bridge]
Oh, baby
[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
[Outro]
Oh, you know it, baby
And I know it too, baby
Oh, yeah
