Song lyrics
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

I'd settle for a slow down

SFASD is his best by far. And watching the music video, I can see myself standing in the road in the pouring rain watching my love run out of my life. I can see myself following him all over town and singing to him about how I really feel. I'm in a horrible situation right now and this song brings me to my knees. Thank you, Dierks.
