We Gotta Get Outta This Place In a Rut Lyrics

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People say I'm crazy for even tryin'

Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be old before your time is due

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

(Yeah!) He's been workin' so hard
(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Ch:
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

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

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

(Yeah!) He's been workin' so hard
(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Ch:
If you're in a rut, you gotta get out of it
Out of it, out of it, out of it, out of it

I can't concentrate
I'm in a state
I don't feel straight
I can't love or hate
Don't take that ride
To suicide
You cut your wrist
You tried and missed

Ch:
If you're in a rut, you gotta get out of it
Out of it, out of it, out of it, out of it
