Biography:
Bentley's musical style is considered to be more traditional than many of his contemporaries and often contains traditional themes of lost or forbidden love, drinking and cheating. "Lot of leavin' left to do", one of his biggest singles, is also reminiscent of Waylon Jennings' style of Outlaw country with Western Swing influences.

Settle For A Slowdown
*Tuned down a full step ( D G C F A D ) - I watched him playing it live on YouTube
and watched his music video of this song, and this is EXACTLY how he plays it.
Sounds the best because you get the deep, country sound out of the guitar.
(Em7) I must (G)look just like A (Cadd9)fool
(Em7) Here in the (G)middle of the (Cadd9)road
(G)Standin' (D)there in your (Am)rearview
And gettin (Em7)soaked to the (G)bone (Cadd9)
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
Chorus
G Em7
But your wheels just turned down the road ahead
C/G D
If it hurts at all you ain’t showed it yet
G Em7
I keep lookin for the slightest sign
C/G D
That you might miss what you left behind
Am G/B Cadd9
I know there’s nothin stopping you now
Em7 G Cadd9
But I’d settle for a slow down
I held on longer than I should
Believin’ you might change your mind
And those bright lights of Hollywood,
Would fade in time
Chorus
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
Am G/B Cadd9
I know there’s nothin stopping you now
G/B Am G/B Cadd9
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
Settle For A Slowdown
