One

I grew up just west of the tracks

Holdin' me to hold me back

Around your door she's callin' out my name

I come in at 5 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"

And I'm going straight to hell

Just like my mama said

I'm going straight to hell (to hell, woo hoo)

I'm going straight to hell

Just like my mama said

I'm going straight to hell (oh, 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

And just then her mother burst in

And said "you're the son of that b**h, you're no wind

Get out of my house

And hit the road"

And I kept falling like a Rolling Stones song

'Cause I'm going straight to hell

Just like my mama said

I'm going straight to hell (oh, straight to hell)

And I'm going straight to hell

Just like my mama said

I'm going straight to hell (oh, hell boy)

The stars came out and warmed 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 day's promise had just begun

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

And I turned around and shouted "help me, mother!"

'Cause I'm going straight to hell

Just like my mama said

I'm going straight to hell (oh yeah)

I'm going straight to hell

Just like my mama said

I'm going straight to hell

Oh Lord, help me

Yeah, I'll bring the whiskey boys

Y'all taking it with me

Help me Jesus, help me Jesus

We all know
