Settle For A Slowdown

I must look just like a fool

Here in the middle of the road

Standin' there in your rearview

And gettin' soaked to the bone

This land as flat as it is mean

A man can see for a hundred miles

So I'm still paryin' I might see

The glow of the 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 nothin' stopping you now

But I'd settle for a slowdown

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 nothin' 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 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 nothin' stopping you now

I'm not asking you to turn back around

I'd settle for a slowdown

Come on just slowdown

I'd settle for a slowdown
