35 mph Town Lyrics by Toby Keith
Toby Keith Lyrics
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 ainât like they used to be round here
You just wouldnât believe it, kids growing up without Jesus, good thing your daddy ainât here to see this now
They stay higher than the water tower in this 35 MPH Town
She said it ainât the drugs, it ainât the booze, Iâve had a backroad buzz or two, myself
It seems like heaven is slipping further away, the devil ainât 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 thereâs a lower higher power in this 35 MPH town
Oh we canât blame the babies for growing up lazy
And crazy it ainât them that let them down
If they ainât stealing, theyâre suing, why work when weâll give it to âem
Itâs right there in the bible that we donât put out
Spare the rod and youâll sour a 35 MPH town
The âyes mamââs gone and the âpleaseââs too,
Itâs out the door with the âthank youâ in the evening
You donât 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 ainât safe for a bike to ride down
Since they planted a prowler in this 35 MPH town
No theyâre going nowhere fast tonight no matter how fast they drive this 35 Hour Town
