Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I grew up just west of the tracks
Holding me to hold me back
Around your door she's calling out my name
[Verse 2]
She she said, "Son, won't you go outside?
I got a man coming over tonight"
The seventh one in seven days
[Verse 3]
So I go down to the parking lot
And hang around all my friends
And roam the streets till dawn breaks again
[Verse 4]
I come in at 5 AM
And she is waiting for me
She said, "Where have you been?"
I said, "I was out"
She said, "You're no good
'Cause you're running without love"
[Verse 5]
And I'm going straight to hell
Just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hell
I'm going straight to hell
Just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hell
[Verse 6]
The black widow and the ladies' man
Met down at the laundromat
And tried to make me understand
[Verse 7]
The neighbors were all in a stir
About what they mighta heard
And running down, they shouted, so it seemed
[Verse 8]
Next door, a girl she lived
About the same age as me
And asked me to come upstairs for a see
[Verse 9]
And just then, her mother burst in
And said, "You're the son of that bitch in the wind
Get out of my house and hit the road"
And I kept falling like a Rolling Stones song
[Verse 10]
'Cause I'm going straight to hell
Just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hell
I'm going straight to hell
Just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hell
[Verse 11]
The stars came out and warned me so
As I walked on down the road
Fifty bucks and a suitcase steered me clear
[Verse 12]
She took my hand as we walked into the sun
A new day's promise had just begun
We'll make it alone whether you like it or not
And I turned around and shouted, "Help me, mama!"
[Verse 13]
'Cause I'm going straight to hell
Just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hell
I'm going straight to hell
Just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hell
I'm going straight to hell
Just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hell
