[Verse 1]
  GI grew up just west of the tracks
DHolding me to hold me back, aCround your door she's calling out my nameG  
  GShe said son won't you go outside, I've Dgot a man coming over tonight
the Cseventh one in seven daysG  
  GSo I walk down to the parking lot,
Dhang around with all my friends, and Croam the streets 'til dawn breaks agaGin
  GI come in at five a.m. and Dshe is waiting for me
She Csaid where have you been, I said I was out
She Gsaid you're no good cause you're running without love
[Chorus]
  GCause I'm going straight to hell
  DJust like my momma said
  CI'm going straight to heGll
  GI'm going straight to hell
  DJust like my momma said
  CI'm going straight to heGll
[Verse 2]
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 running down and 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 that 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
[Chorus]
  GCause I'm going straight to hell
  DJust like my momma said
  CI'm going straight to heGll
  GI'm going straight to hell
  DJust like my momma said
  CI'm going straight to heGll
[Verse 3]
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 around and shouted help me, mother
[Chorus]
  GCause I'm going straight to hell
  DJust like my momma said
  CI'm going straight to heGll
  GI'm going straight to hell
  DJust like my momma said
  CI'm going straight to heGll
  GI'm going straight to hell
  DJust like my momma said
  CI'm going straight ... to Ghell

G D C G

[Verse 1]

I grew up just west of the tracks

D C G

Holding me to hold me back, around your door she's calling out my name

G D

She said son won't you go outside, I've got a man coming over tonight

C G

the seventh one in seven days

So I walk down to the parking lot,

D C G

hang around with all my friends, and roam the streets 'til dawn breaks again

G D

I come in at five a.m. 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

[Chorus]

Cause I'm going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

C G

I'm going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

C G

I'm going straight to hell

[Verse 2]

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 running down and 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 that 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

[Chorus]

Cause I'm going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

C G

I'm going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

C G

I'm going straight to hell

[Verse 3]

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 around and shouted help me, mother

[Chorus]

Cause I'm going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

C G

I'm going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

C G

I'm going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

C G

I'm going straight ... to hell
