Go to hell, go to hell, go back where you belong
Get thee behind me Satan, just leave me the hell alone
Take your wars and your politics, your lust and your greed
And go to hell in a handbasket 'cause heaven waits for me

Go to hell, go to hell, go back where you belong
Get thee behind me Satan, just leave me alone
You're a cheat, you're a liar, you're a scoundrel and a thief
Go to hell in a handbasket 'cause heaven waits for me
Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell, go to hell
Go to hell in a handbasket 'cause heaven waits for me

Oh, I tried hard to conquer my fears and my doubts
But everywhere I turn I see your evil doin's all about
I have suffered your sorrow, your heartache and grief
You keep dealing me a bad hand with a trick card up your sleeve

Go to hell, go to hell, go back where you belong
Get thee behind me Satan, just leave me alone
Take all of your bad guys, your demons and flee
Go to hell in a handbasket, heaven's calling me
Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell, go to hell
Go to hell in a handbasket 'cause heaven waits for me

Oh, I know I'm no angel, but I'm better than that
And God is still my hero, and he can knock you flat
There is nothing but sorrow in that wicked place that you dwell
Take your pain and your misery and go straight to hell

Go to hell, go to hell, go back where you belong
Get thee behind me Satan, just leave me alone
Take your drugs and your alcohol, your vices and leave
Go to hell in a handbasket, just get away from me
Go to hell (go to hell), go to hell (go to hell)
Go to hell in a handbasket 'cause heaven waits for me
