Straight to Hell Songtext
von Darius Rucker

I grew up just west of the tracks
Holding me to hold me back
Around your door she′s calling out my name

I come in at 5 a.m.
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

And I′m going straight to hell
Just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hell
I′m going straight to hell
Just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hell
(Oh, and I′m gonna burn it down, baby)


The black widow and the ladies man
Met down at the laundromat
And tried to make me
Understand

Just then her mother burst in
And said: You're the 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

'Cause I'm going straight to hell
Just like my mama said
I′m going straight to hell
I′m going straight to hell
Just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hell

The stars came out
And warned me so
As I walked on down the road
50 bucks and a suitcase
Steered me clear


She took my hand
As we walked into the sun
A new days promise had just begun
We′ll make it alone whether you like it or not
And I turned around and shouted: Help me mama

'Cause I′m going straight to hell
Just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hell
(Oh hell)
I′m going straight to hell (ooh)
Just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hell
