I grew up just west of the tracks   holding me to hold me back   around your door   she's calling out my name      she said "son won't you go outside   I've got a man coming over tonight   The 7th one in 7 days"         So I go down   to the parking lot   and hang around   all my friends   And roam the street 'till dawn   breaks again      I come in at five am   and she is waitin' for me   she said, "where have you been?"   I said,   "I WAS OUT"   she said, "you're no good 'cause   you're runnin' without love"      I'm going straight to hell   just like my mama said   I'm going straight to hell      The black widow and the   ladies man   met down at the laundromat   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 seemed      next door a girl she lives   about the same age as me   and asked me to come upstairs   for a see      just then her mother burst in   said, "you're the son of that   bitch in the wind   get outta my house   hit the road"   I kept fallin' like a   ROLLING STONES SONG      I'm going straight to hell   just like my mama said   I'm going straight to hell      The stars came out   and warned me so   as i walked on down   the road   fifty bucks and a suitcase   steered me clear      She took my hand   as we walked into the sun   a new days promise had   begun   we'll make it alone   whether you like it or not   I turned and shouted      HELP ME MOTHER      I'm going straight to hell   just like my mama said   I'm going straight to hell      MOTHER   LOVE HER   WON'T YOU LET ME GO
