G
I grew up just west of the tracks
D
Holding me to hold me back
C G
Around your door she’s calling out my name
G
She said "son won't you go outside
D
I've got a man coming over tonight
C G
It was the seventh one in seven days
G
So I go down to the parking lot
D
And hang around all my friends
C G
And roam the street 'till dawn breaks again
G
I come in at five a.m. and
D
She is waitin' for me
C
She said, "where have you been?"
G
I said "I was out"
D C
She said, "you're no good 'cause you’re runnin without love"
[Refrão]
G
I’m goin straight to hell
D
Just like my momma said, hey
C G
I’m goin straight to hell
G
The black widow and the ladies man
D
Met down at the Laundromat
C G
And tried to make me understand
G
The neighbors were all in a stir
D
About what they might have heard
C G
And runnin' down and shouted out it seemed
G
Next door a girl she lives
D
About the same age as me and she
C G
Asked me to come upstairs for a see
G
Just then her mother burst in
D
Said, "you're the son of that bitch in the wind
C
Get out of my house, hit the road" so I
G
Kept fallin' like a Rolling Stones' song
[Refrão]
G
I’m goin straight to hell
D
Just like my momma said, hey
C G
I’m goin straight to hell
Verse:
G
Stars came out and warmed me so
D
As I walked on down the road
C G
Fifty bucks and a suitcase steered me clear
G
She took my hand as we walked into the sun
D
A new days promise had begun
C
We’ll make it alone whether ya like it or not
G
I turned and shouted "help me mamma"
[Refrão]
G
I’m goin straight to hell
D
Just like my momma said
C G
I’m goin straight to hell
G
I’m goin straight to hell
D
Just like my momma said
C G
I’m goin straight to hell
