STRAIGHT TO HELL

Hello rock 'n rollers.

Here is our tune Straight To Hell, which will be released on our full-length cassette, in hopefully, late-2024. Listen now on bandcamp, and soon on Spotify and all streaming. We will be playing it live at our Free Gigs that are both All Ages: February 18 + March 30, 2024. Hope to see ya there.

R.F. is my 6th group, & this is perhaps the most personal song I've ever written in my life. Themes mentioned: past lover's abortions, being judged negatively for getting my vasectomy, & being a Not-Parent. I wrote the lyrics in March 2022, watching Tennessee take away Reproductive Freedoms, & then, to everyone-with-a-brain's horror, the entire USA sadly did the same thing, a few short months later. Which is anti-freedom, anti-American, & ...a buncha bullshit. It is musically inspired by outlaw country & the Stones - Far Away Eyes. I took this photograph in a rural desert town in Nevada, in late 2021. Thanx for givin' it a whirl. ~Richie Richards

STRAIGHT TO HELL

(R. Richards & J. Conrad)

Straight to hell, oh straight to hell
Preacher said that’s where I’m headed, can’t ya tell?
Straight to hell, oh straight to hell
Looked at me like I pissed inside my drinkin’ well

Our choice wasn’t no misfortune, we both wanted that abortion
Now I’m headed there, so lordy, wish me well

Straight to hell, oh straight to hell
Pearly gates ain’t gonna greet me, well, oh well
Straight to hell, oh straight to hell
Yes, I’ll be there, wearin’ whistles n’ a bell

Said they ain’t gonna respect me, cuz I had me a vasectomy
Ain’t no point to my existence, well, oh well

Straight to hell, oh straight to hell
They all told me, I’m headed there after this
Straight to hell, oh straight to hell
Be on the lookout, cuz I’m, blowin’ you a kiss

Conservative bastards say I’m crazy, ramblin’ on with my ol’ lady
We’ll be spinnin’ wheels, jus’ truckin’ on, straight to hell
