Draft #63
Today I've taken a perfectly good country song about a guy watching his girlfriend drive off into the distance and turned it into a song about a husband begging for sex from his wife. I'm as disgusted as you are.
Settle For A Slowdown
Dierks Bentley
I must look just like a fool here in the middle of the road
standing there in your rearview 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 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 stopping you now
but I'd settle for a slowdown.
I held on longer then I should
Leaving you might change your mind
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 stopping you now
but I'd settle for a slowdown.
But your wheels just turn down the road ahead
if it hurts at all you aint showed it yet
your 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
Im 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.
Hucklebuck Remix
I'd Settle For A Reach Around
I must look like a fool here, in the middle of our humble abode
I'm standing naked in the living room and your acting terribly ice cold
That look you're giving me is down right mean, your everything but smiles
But I'm still hoping I see some action, cause I wanna get laid tonight
Honey what's it gunna take to get some head
If you're in the mood, you's ain't showed it yet
I keep a lookin for the slightest sign
That you might want to break me off a piece of that behind
There's a whole lotta things I wish you would do
But I'd settle for a reach around
I held on longer than a good husband should
Hoping your libido catches up with mine
You're always wasting my best morning wood
My gift to you is gunna fade with time
Honey what's it gunna take to get some head
If you're in the mood you's ain't showed it yet
I keep looking for the slightest sign
That you might want to break me off a piece of that behind
There's a whole lotta things I wish you would do
But I'd settle for a reach around
I'm begging you for just five minutes of head
We can do it on the couch or take this into the bed
Show me the lady I married who could do it all night long, without any breaks
Baby just one time
My boys are all fired up and they're ready right now
So how about a courtesy reach around
I'd settle for a reach around
Come on, you saucy hose hound
Give daddy his reach around

Just as a small point of contention, I don't believe "a perfectly good country song" exists. Your version is beautiful.
Thank you! But if a perfectly good country song does not exist, then how do you explain "Don't Take the Girl" by Tim McGraw?
