Straight To Hell

I grew up just west of the tracks

Holdin' me to hold you back

Around your door just callin' out my name

She said "son why don't you go outside

I got a man comin' over tonight"

Seventh one in seven days

So I go down to the parkin' lot

To hang around with all my friends

And roam the streets 'til dawn breaks again

I come in at 5 a m and she is waiting for me

She said "where have you been " i said "i was out"

She said "she said you're no good

'Cause you're runnin' without love"

'Cause I'm goin' straight to hell

Yeah just like my momma said

'Cause I'm goin' straight to hell

A black widow and the lady's man

We met down the laundry mat

And tried to make me understand

The neighbors were all in a stir

About what they might have heard

And runnin' down they shouted out it seems

Well next door a girl she lives

About the same age as me

And asked me to come upstairs for a see

And just then her mother bursts in

She said "you're that son of a b**ch in the wind

Get out of my house and hit the road"

And I kept fallin' like a rollin' stone

'Cause I'm goin' straight to hell

Yeah just like my momma said

'Cause I'm goin' straight to hell

I'm goin' straight to hell

Yeah just like my momma said

'Cause I'm goin' straight to hell

The stars came out and they warmed me so

As I walked on down the road

50 bucks and a suitcase steered me clear

She took my hand as we walked into the sun

A new day's promise had begun

"We'll make it alone whether you like it or not"

I turned around and shouted "HELP ME MOTHER "

'Cause I'm goin' straight to hell

Yeah just like my momma said

'Cause I'm goin' straight to hell

'Cause I'm goin' straight to hell

Yeah just like my momma said

'Cause I'm goin' straight to hell
