I grew up just west of the tracks Holding me to hold me back Around your door she's calling out my name I come in at 5 a.m. 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 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 (Oh, and I'm gonna burn it down, baby) The black widow and the ladies man Met down at the laundromat And tried to make me Understand 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 fallin' like a Rolling Stones song '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 The stars came out And warned 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 days promise had just begun We'll make it alone whether you like it or not And I turned around and shouted: Help me mama 'Cause I'm going straight to hell Just like my mama said I'm going straight to hell (Oh hell) I'm going straight to hell (ooh) Just like my mama said I'm going straight to hell
