G5
I grew up just west of the tracks
D5                       C5
holding me to hold you back, around your door she's calling out my name
G5                           D5
She said son won't you go outside, I've got a man coming over tonight
C5
the seventh one in seven days
G5
So I walk on down to the parking lot,
D5                         C5
hang around with all my friends, and roam the streets til dawn breaks again
G5                   D5            
I come in at five a.m. and she is waiting for me
C5
She said where have you been, I said I was out,
G5               D5                 C5
She said you're no good cause you're running without love


CHORUS
G5
Cause I'm going straight to hell
D5
Just like my momma said
C5
I'm going straight to hell
G5
I'm going straight to hell
D5
Just like my momma said
C5
I'm going straight to hell


The black widow and the ladies man
Met down at the laundrmat 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 your that son of a bitch in the wind
Get out of my house and hit the road 
and I kept fallin like a Rolling Stones song

CHORUS

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
