Lyrics Settle For A Slowdown

I must look just like a fool
Here in the middle of the road
Standin there in your rearview
And get soak to the bone
This land is flat, as it is mean
A man can see for a hundred miles
So I’m still prayin I might see the glow of brake light

But your wheels just turn down the road ahead
If it hurts at all you ain’t showed it yet
I keep 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 slow down

I held on longer than I should
Believin’ you might change your mind
And those bright lights of Hollywood,
Would fade in time

But your wheels just turn down the road ahead
If it hurts at all you ain’t showed it yet
I keep 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 slow down

But your wheels just turn down the road ahead
If it hurts at all you ain’t showed it yet
You’re just a tiny dot on that horizon line
C’mon just tap those brakes
Baby, just one time
I know there’s nothing stopping you now
I’m not asking you to turn around
I’d settle for a slow down
C’mon just slow down

I’d settle for a slow down
