"Straight To Hell" lyrics
Butch Walker & Elizabeth Cook Lyrics
"Straight To Hell"
(feat. Jeff Sullivan)
(originally by Drivin' N' Cryin')
I grew up just west of the tracks
Holding me to hold me back
Around your door, she's calling out my name
She said, "Son, won't you go outside
I got a man coming over tonight"
The seventh one in seven days
So I go down to the parking lot
And hang around all my friends
And roam the street 'til dawn breaks again
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"
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 black widow and the ladies' man
They met down at the laundromat
And tried to help me understand
The neighbors were all in a stir
About what they might have heard
And runnin' down they 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
And said, "You're the son of that bitch in the wind
Get out of my house and hit the road"
And I kept falling like a Rolling Stones song
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
Fifty bucks and a suitcase steered me clear
She took my hand as 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 and shouted, "Help me, mother"
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
I'm going straight to hell
Just like my mama said
I'm going straight to hell
Mama, won't you let me go?

That someone disappeared, left no mark here
Today I heard that someone just got up and left himself
Lying on the ground

Ross Copperman - "I Don't Wanna Let You Go" Waking up
Lost in a fog
You were the light that led me home.
Overcome
Thought I was strong
Thought I could make it on my own
I fooled myself
but believe me now
I don't wanna let you go
I'd be loss...
Sarah Jarosz - "Take Me Back" Take me back in time again
Stay with me like you did then
Take me as you find me here
Take me now, feel me near
Love like I never knew before
Someday will fade and be ignored
Nothing is forever...
