I must look just like a fool here
in the middle of the road 
standing there in your rearview 
and getting soaked to the bone
this land is flat as it is mean 
a man can see for a hundred miles
So im 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 aint showed it yet
I keep a lookin' 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 then I should
Leaving you might change your mind
those bright lights of Hollywood 
would fade in time. 

But your wheels just turn
down the road ahead
If it hurts at all 
you aint showed it yet 
I keep a lookin' 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.

But your wheels just turn 
down the road ahead 
if it hurts at all 
you aint showed it yet 
your just a tiny dot on that horizon [bad word] on tap those brakes 
baby just one time 
I know there's nothing stopping you now
Im not asking you to turn back around 

I'd settle for a slowdown [bad word] on just slow down 
I'd settle for a slow down.
