Settle For A Slowdown Lyrics By 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
