35 mph town - Toby Keith
Momma locked the door last night for the first time in all of her years
I said mama ya gotta be kiddin' me
She said things ain't like they used to be round here
You just wouldn't believe it
Kids growin' up without Jesus
Thank God your daddy ain't around to see this now
They stay higher than the water tower
In this 35 mile an hour town
She said it ain't the drugs
It ain't the booze
I've had a back road buzz or two myself
Seems like heaven's slippin' further away
The devil ain't got far to go when they raise hell
We used to burn a hole through midnight
Smokin' a stolen Marlboro light
And on a good night
Might kill a fifth of crown
But now
There's a lower higher power in this 35 mile an hour town
Oh we can't blame our babies for growin' up lazy and crazy it ain't them that let them down
If they ain't stealin' they're suin'
Why work when we'll give it to 'em
It's right there in the bible we don't pull out
Spare the rod and you'll sour
In this 35 mile an hour town
The yes ma'ams gone and the please is too
It's out the door with the thank you and the amen
Ya don't see a front yard football game
The neighbor kids have done away with the shirts and skins
No one hits the front porch light to get their kids to come inside
Cause the streets ain't safe for a bike to ride down
Since they printed a prowler in this 35 mile an hour town
No they're goin' nowhere fast tonight
No matter how fast they drive
This 35 mile an hour town
