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 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"

And I'm going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

I'm going straight to hell (to hell, woohoo)

I'm going straight to hell

Just like my momma 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

And just then, her mother bursts 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

'Cause I'm going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

I'm going straight to hell (oh straight to hell)

I'm going straight to hell

Just like my momma 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 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 momma! "

'Cause I'm going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

I'm going straight to hell

Oh yeah, I'm going straight to hell

Ooh just like my momma said

I'm going straight to hell

(Oh Lord help us

Yeah I'll bring the whiskey boys

Y'all taking me with ya

Help me Jesus, help me Jesus, we all are

Oh)
