"35's" is a song by Tyler Hubbard, one-half of the country music duo Florida Georgia Line. The lyrics describe the protagonist's tendency to always be in a hurry, constantly racing against time and chasing after success. He admits to being a workaholic, always grinding and striving to win at everything. To momentarily escape this fast-paced lifestyle, the protagonist takes a drive down a red-rock road, trying to let everything sink in. He uses the metaphor of "35's" to represent the slower pace he desires. "35's" refers to the speed limit of 35 miles per hour, indicating a slower, more relaxed mindset. The song emphasizes the need to take a break and slow down, appreciating the simple things in life rather than constantly striving and pushing boundaries. The protagonist wants to make time to enjoy life, relax, and experience more than just getting by. He wants to take a step back, reflect, and appreciate the beauty and simplicity around him. Ultimately, "35's" encourages listeners to consider the importance of balance in life, advocating for taking moments to slow down, appreciate the present, and find joy in the small pleasures.
