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 prayin' 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 lookin' for the slightest sign
 That you might miss what you left behind
 I know there's nothin' stoppin' 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
 You're just a tiny dot on that horizon line
 Come on tap those brakes, baby just one time
 I know there's nothin' stoppin' 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 slowdown
