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 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 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 
I KEEP 'A 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 
4 BAR 

BREAK 

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 SLOW DOWN
