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 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 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
