Get Out
Storm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'

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 a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
Oh yes I know it

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

We gotta get out of this place
If it's 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 a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey, yeah
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know he's been workin' so hard

(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every day baby
(Yeah!) Whoa!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

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
Somewhere baby, somehow I know it

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
Believe me baby




I know it baby
You know it too

Never been to Florida but I would love to go one day. The Gold Coast of Australia is similar to what you have. Further up there is the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsundays.

However being to Florida to understand weather is a logical fallacy.

To the uninitiated such as yourself it’ll feel like these storms came from nowhere but for those that know will recognise it, they can see it coming with plenty of time to get to the car.

Yes, there are exceptions to the rule such as tornadoes but not the example you’re providing.

As a commercial pilot who has flown around the world, I live it, study and breath it. Constantly refining my knowledge when new info comes to light but with respect your comment isn’t going to be one of them.

I’m Curious. With the combined knowledge and experience 3 of you have, how come nobody had a life jacket on?

@Chase Jones 4-5' seas with high winds and intense rain coming straight in your face on a small center console boat is deadly dude. Maybe not on a 40-footer but definitely on an anything less than 20.
