Settle For A Slowdown - Dierks Bentley

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

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

I held on longer than I should

Believing 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

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

I’d settle for a slowdown

Come on just slow down

I’d settle for a slow down
