| \"35 MPH Town\" | |
| Mama locked the door last night for the first time in all of her years | |
| I said mama you gotta be kidding me, she said things ain't like they used to be round here | |
| You just wouldn't believe it, kids growing up without Jesus, good thing your daddy ain't here to see this now | |
| They stay higher than the water tower in this 35 MPH Town | |
| She said it ain't the drugs, it ain't the booze, I've had a backroad buzz or two, myself | |
| It seems like heaven is slipping further away, the devil ain't got far to go when they raise hell | |
| We used to burn a hole through midnight, smoking a stolen Marlboro Light and | |
| on a good night might kill a 5th of Crown But now there's a lower higher power in this 35 MPH town | |
| Oh we can't blame the babies for growing up lazy | |
| And crazy it ain't them that let them down | |
| If they ain't stealing, they're suing, why work when we'll give it to ‘em | |
| It's right there in the bible that we don't put out | |
| Spare the rod and you'll sour a 35 MPH town | |
| The \"yes mam\"'s gone and the \"please\"'s too | |
| It's out the door with the \"thank you\" in the evening | |
| You don't see a front yard football game | |
| The neighbor kids have done away with the shirt and skins | |
| No one hits the front porch lights to get the kids to come inside | |
| Cause the streets ain't safe for a bike to ride down | |
| Since they planted a prowler in this 35 MPH town | |
| No they're going nowhere fast tonight no matter how fast they drive this 35 Hour Town |
| " 35 MPH Town" | |
