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 seventh one in seven 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 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
