Mama locked the door last nightFor the first time in all of her yearsI said mama you gotta be kidding meShe said things ain't like they used to be round hereYou just wouldn't believe itKids growing up without JesusGood thing your daddy ain't here to see this nowThey stay higher than the water towerIn this thirty five mile an hour townShe said it ain't the drugs, it ain't the boozeI've had a backroad buzz or two, myselfIt seems like heaven is slipping further awayThe devil ain't got far to go when they raise hellWe used to burn a hole through midnightSmoking a stolen Marlboro Light and on a good nightMight kill a 5th of Crown but nowThere's a lower higher powerIn this thirty five mile an hour townOh we can't blame the babies for growing up lazyAnd crazy it ain't them that let them downIf they ain't stealing, they're suingWhy work when we'll give it to 'emIt's right there in the bible that we don't put outSpare the rod and you'll sourIt's thirty five mile an hour townThe yes mam's gone and the please's tooIt's out the door with the thank you in the eveningYou don't see a front yard football gameThe neighbor kids have done away with the shirt and skinsNo one hits the front porch lightsTo get the kids to come inside'Cause the streets ain't safe for a bike to ride downSince they planted a prowlerIn this thirty five mile an hour townNo they're going nowhere fast tonight no matterHow fast they drive this thirty five mile an hourTown
