I must look just like a fool,
Here in the middle of the road.
Standin' there in your rearview,
An' 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 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 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 stoppin' you now,
But I'd settle for a slowdown.
I held on longer then I should.
Leavin' you might change your mind.
An' 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 stoppin' you now,
But I'd settle for a slowdown.
If it hurts at all, you aint showed it yet.
You're just a tiny dot,
On the horizon line.
C'mon, tap those brakes, baby, just one time.
I know there's nothing stoppin' you now:
I'm not askin' you to turn back around,
But I'd settle for a slowdown.
C'mon, just slow down.
I'd settle for a slow down
