I grew up just west of the tracks
Holding me to hold you back
Around your door she's calling out my name
She said, "Honey, 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,
Hang around with all my friends
To roam the street til dawn breaks again
I come in at five AM and she's been 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."
Cause I'm going straight to hell
Just like my momma said
I'm going straight to hell
Next door a boy who lives about the same age as me
And asked me to come upstairs for a see
Just then his mother burst in
Said, "You're that tramp of a b____ in the wind."
Get out of my house and hit the road
I kept falling like a Rolling Stones song
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
He took my hand, 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, "See ya, momma."
I'm going straight to hell
Just like my momma said
I'm going straight to hell
