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
