Going To Hell

Me and Jimmy Lee, we hung out together
I was mad as a bat flying backwards
And I guess he was no better
We’d run the streets throughout the night
Playing a dangerous game
Watched on by neon lights
Taking chances when they came

And the preacher said as far as he could tell
Both of us were going to hell

It looks like we’re going to hell
And I guess it’s just as well
We’ll be rocking on through the night
Toasting our sins by the devil’s fire light
What the hell!
It looks like we’re going to hell
And I guess it’s just as well
We’ll be rocking on through the night
Toasting our sins by the devil’s fire light
What the hell!
It looks like we’re going to hell

In winter at minus 10 degrees
We’d ride out, hide out in the chapel
Just so our liquor didn’t freeze
Jimmy lit candles to warm his soul
It was such a holy sight
But it all got kinda out of control
The place went up like dynamite

And the preacher said as far as he could tell
Both of us were going to hell

It looks like we’re going to hell
And I guess it’s just as well
We’ll be rocking on through the night
Toasting our sins by the devil’s fire light
What the hell!
It looks like we’re going to hell
And I guess it’s just as well
We’ll be rocking on through the night
Toasting our sins by the devil’s fire light
What the hell!
It looks like we’re going to hell

Oh, the highway took us up to the river
We stared down as the black water ran
Adrenaline was making us shiver
But we’d cross it if we can

Revving hard the gasoline pumped
Said “see ya on the other side.”
Taking off together we jumped
But for Jimmy the river was too wide

Preacher said as far as he could tell
That Jimmy would be going to hell

Well, I said “that’s fine and that’s okay
Just keep my seat warm, Jimmy-Boy
I’ll be with you some day.”
And maybe we just don’t fit in
But some of us were born to sin

And the Preacher said as far as he could tell
Both of us were going to hell

What the hell!
It looks like we’re going to hell
And I guess it’s just as well
We’ll be rocking on through the night
Toasting our sins by the devil’s fire light
What the hell!
It looks like we’re going to hell
And I guess it’s just as well
We’ll be rocking on through the night
Toasting our sins by the devil’s fire light
What the hell!
It looks like we’re going to hell
It looks like we’re going to hell
It looks like we’re going to hell
