[Chorus: Hori Shaw]
It's time to hit the roads to paradise
The Highway 35 is calling me home again
Take me home, take me home
Take me home, take me home

[Verse 1: Hori Shaw]
Take me away to this beautiful place
Located on the East, Te Araroa
Now river's flowing to the ocean
Our sacred mountains standing over our hometown

[Pre-Chorus: Hori Shaw]
It's like a trap when you're in it, you can't get out of it
I'm telling you now, you won't wanna leave this beautiful place behind

[Chorus: Hori Shaw]
It's time to hit the roads to paradise
The Highway 35 is calling me
It's time to hit the roads to paradise
The Highway 35 is calling me home again
Take me home, take me home
Take me home, take me home

[Bridge: Hori Shaw]
Take me away to paradise
The first place to see the sunrise
[Verse 2: Classick J]
Let me tell you 'bout this place I know
We headed to the kainga, bro
Haven't been back since years ago
But every time I go back, still feels like home
It's up the road jack on horseback
Tryna find where the venison and the pork at
Chur, my breeva, fill up the freezer
Ridgeback made it from Argentina
This is paradise, my whanaunga
Where the marijuana grows haunga
Where the sun rises on one side
It hits different on top of the maunga
Peekin' the deer and the horses' row
Locations that are still unknown
Let me tell you 'bout this place I know
State 35 highway, East Coast

[Chorus: Hori Shaw]
It's time to hit the roads to paradise
The Highway 35 is calling me
It's time to hit the roads to paradise
The Highway 35 is calling me home again
Take me home, take me home
Take me home, take me home
[Bridge: Hori Shaw]
Take me away to paradise
The first place to see the sunrise
