Straight to Hell - Cherlene

I grew up just west of the tracks

Holding me to hold you back

Around your door she’s calling out my name

She said, «Honey, won’t you go outside?

I’ve got a man coming over tonight

The seventh one in seven days.»

So I go down to the parking lot

Hang around with all my friends

To roam the street til dawn breaks again

I come in at five AM and she’s been 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.»

Cause I’m going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

I’m going straight to hell

Next door a boy who lives about the same age as me

And asked me to come upstairs for a see

Just then his mother burst in

Said, «You're that tramp of a bitch in the wind.»

Get out of my house and hit the road

I kept falling like a Rolling Stones song

I’m going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

I’m going straight to hell

The stars came out and warned me so

As I walked on down the road

Fifty bucks and a suitcase steered me clear

He took my hand, we walked into the sun

A new day’s promise had begun

We’ll make it alone whether you like it or not

I turned around and shouted, «See ya, momma.»

I’m going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

I’m going straight to hell

I’m going straight to hell

Just like my momma said

I’m going straight to hell

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Mother oh, won’t you let me go

Y’all my mom actually did say I was going to hell, but she’s dead and I win

Oh boy

Holy shitsnacks

Holy shitsnacks y’all

But seriously, holy shitsnacks
