Farm to Market Road 1585 (FM 1585) is a Farm to Market Road located in the South Plains region of Texas. The section of highway between U.S. Highway 62/U.S. Highway 82 (US 62/US 82) and US 87 has seen rapid growth along its route in the past few years, as Lubbock expands southward.
FM 1585 begins at an intersection with FM 769 at the Texas-New Mexico state line, south of Bledsoe. The highway travels through rural areas of Cochran County, intersecting with SH 214. FM 1585 shares a short overlap with FM 1780 before entering into Hockley County. The highway shares another overlap, this time with FM 300, southwest of Levelland. FM 1585 intersects with US 385 south of Levelland, maintaining its rural route. Crossing into Lubbock County, FM 1585 shares a short overlap with US 62/US 82 southwest of Wolfforth. A few miles east of here, FM 1585 enters into the city of Lubbock, running along the southernmost boundary of the city. The highway leaves the Lubbock city limits just west of the US 87 intersection. East of US 87, FM 1585 becomes a rural route once again, ending at an intersection with US 84 just north of Slaton.
