\"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" | |

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 | |
