Settle for a Slowdown

[Verse 1] I must look just like a fool here In the middle of the road Standing there in your rear view And getting soaked to the bone This land is flat as it is mean A man can see for a hundred miles So I'm still praying I might see The glow of a brake light [Chorus] But your wheels just turn Down the road ahead If it hurts at all You ain't showed it yet I keep a looking 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 [Verse 2] I held on longer than I should Believing you might change your mind And those bright lights of Hollywood Would fade in time [Chorus] 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 Come on tap those brakes Baby just one time I know there's nothing stopping you now I'm not asking you to turn back around [Outro] I'd settle for a slowdown Come on just slow down I'd settle for a slow down
