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 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 brake light

                            
But your wheels just turned 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 stopping you now

But I’d settle for a slow down

                   
I held on longer than I should've
                         
Believin’ you might change your mind
                    
And those bright lights of Hollywood,
                    
Would fade in time

                            
But your wheels just turned 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 stopping you now
                      
But I’d settle for a slow down

                            
But your wheels just turned 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

C’mon just tap those brakes

Baby, just one time
                            
I know there’s nothin stopping you now
                           
I’m not asking you to turn back around
                  
I’d settle for a slow down
                 
C’mon just slow down
