"35 MPH Town" is a song that Toby Keith wrote with longtime collaborator Bobby Pinson and that Keith released as his 61st single.
[2] The song is about contemporary American small town life.
The narrator claims "things ain't like they used to be round here", and brings to attention that children are becoming lazy instead of working and also the dangers of today, claiming "momma locked the door last night for the first time in all of her years" and "the streets ain't safe for a bike to ride down."
In the single's first week, it sold 5,000 units[3] and was the seventh-most added song to country radio.
[4] Taste of Country reviewed the song favorably and called it "a story that will stir up opinions".
