"Settle for a Slowdown"


I must look just like a fool here
in the middle of the road 

standing there in your rearview 

and getting soaked to the bone

this land is flat as it is mean
 
a man can see for a hundred miles

So im still praying I might see

the glow of a brake light.
 

But your wheels just turn, 

down the road ahead

If it hurts at all
 
you aint showed it yet

I keep a lookin' for 

the slightest sign that you might miss 

what you left behind 

I know there's nothing stopping you now

but I'd settle for a slowdown.


I held on longer then I should

Leaving you might change your mind

those bright lights of Hollywood 

would fade in time.
 

But your wheels just turn

down the road ahead

If it hurts at all 

you aint showed it yet 

I keep a lookin' for

the slightest sign 

that you might miss 

what you left behind 

I know there's nothing stopping you now 

but I'd settle for a slowdown.



But your wheels just turn 

down the road ahead
 
if it hurts at all
 
you aint showed it yet 

your just a tiny dot on that horizon line come on tap those brakes
 
baby just one time 

I know there's nothing stopping you now

Im not asking you to turn back around 


I'd settle for a slowdown

come on just slow down 

I'd settle for a slow down.
