I grew up just west of the tracks
Holdin' me to hold you back
around your door just callin' out my nameShe said "son why don't you go outside
I got a man comin' over tonight"
seventh one in seven daysSo I go down to the parkin' lot
to hang around with all my friends
and roam the streets 'til dawn breaks againI 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 hellA black widow and the lady's man
we met down the laundry mat
and tried to make me understandThe neighbors were all in a stir
about what they might have heard
and runnin' down they shouted out it seemsWell next door a girl she lives
about the same age as me
and asked me to come upstairs for a seeAnd just then her mother bursts in
she said "you're that son of a bitch 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 hellI'm goin' straight to hell
yeah, just like my momma said
'cause I'm goin' straight to hellThe stars came out and they warmed me so
as I walked on down the road
50 bucks and a suitcase steered me clearShe 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
