We Gotta Get Out Of This Place

Jarrod Spector
Album : Beautiful - The Carole King Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

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 your time is due
I can't take anymore, what are we waiting for
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
You see, my daddy in bed and tired
You see, his hair been turnin' gray
He's been working and slavin' his life away
Every day he's been working yeah
He's been working yeah
He's been working, working, working
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
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
