I grew up just west of the tracks
holding me to hold me back
around your door
she's calling out my nameshe said "son won't you go outside
I've got a man coming over tonight
The 7th one in 7 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 hellThe 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 seemednext door a girl she lives
about the same age as me
and asked me to come upstairs
for a seejust then her mother burst in
said, "you're the son of that
bitch in the wind
get outta my house
hit the road"
I kept fallin' like a
ROLLING STONES SONGI'm going straight to hell
just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hellThe stars came out
and warned me so
as i walked on down
the road
fifty bucks and a suitcase
steered me clearShe 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 shoutedHELP ME MOTHERI'm going straight to hell
just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hellMOTHER
LOVE HER
WON'T YOU LET ME GO
