Is it possible for this guy to make a bad song? He can write songs that are lighthearted and positive, such as "Free and Easy" and "Drunk on a Plane," and turn around and make something like this, and "I Hold On" which hit you right in the feels. Both styles are equally amazing. Dierks has a versatility that very few country artists have.
Cory Newman OMG! You read my mind! I think the exact same thing about him. I have never listened to another artist ( country or rock ) that doesn't have a few songs that are not so great. But I have never heard a bad song from this guy. He is amazing!
That plea “Come on tap those breaks, baby just one time” is like you can hear the soul of the man screaming & begging to understand how the leaving is so easy for her as his world comes crashing down. He’s willing to let her go and understands why she is, but the pleading for her to not shrug it off like it was nothing...that’s what makes this song hit so hard. There is nothing louder than a applause of silence and the coldness of heartbreak that 100% one sided.
A bit like Gordon Lightfoot's "But stories always end And if you read between the lines You'll know that I'm just trying to understand The feelings that you lack"
This song will always hold a special place in my heart. Not due to a breakup but solely because it's a phenomenal song that takes me back to the times when life was just so simple.
Not that I don't completely agree, but to be fair, back in the 90s people were saying country wasn't country anymore. It's all subjective. But, I do subjectively agree!
Johnny Cash said Garth Brooks wasn’t country. Garth Brooks said Florida Georgia Line isn’t country. Florida Georgia Line will say the same to some future country singer. Endless cycle
He's one of the most amazing country singers I've ever heard. His music is so realistic, and makes sense. Unlike some other lyrical music... that makes no sense whatsoever
Thanks for your utmost love and support has brought me this far, it has been a hard time for me going through this, but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times. I do read your heartwarming comments and i truly appreciate all. It's the season of love for me & so i decided to put smiles on the faces of my fans by going through old posts on my official page and hitting up random fans, So i can get to relate with my fans better through discussions of depth and humour, listening to compliments and criticisms on my career work.😍🙏🏻🌎💜❤️
“i’m not asking you to turn back around” hits so hard. i feel the same about someone. they’ve made up their mind and moved on, i could live with being friends. but to never see them again hurts.
It has probably been said 1,000 times over, but WHO WOULD LEAVE DIERKS BENTLEY!?!? I would live in that little silver trailer with him forever!!! Geez.
@Dierks Bentley why thank you, and no I haven't been to any of your concerts. I bounce between TN and Kansas City Missouri. I will be trying to make time to get to one. Are you presently touring?
I've had nothing but long term relationships. My longest was 8 years and 3 beautiful kids with her. It kills me every single day knowing she is with someone else and I have no one to blame but myself. She is the one I dream of and think about on a daily. I've come to realization that Im just one of them guys that dies alone. I'm ok with that. My heart will forever be hers. As long as she is happy and our kids are healthy and happy with there lives, that's all that matters to me.
I sure hope you're right. The love of my life....my childrens father abused me , choked me til I couldn't breathe we just broke up not long ago. He and my cousin put me in jail domestic violence and she lied and said I stole $200 worth of her stuff (even tho I let her move and live in my house when she had NOTHING rent free) they have threw me out my kids DSS took my children I'm working my ass off to get them and STAYING AWAY FROM THE ONE PERSON I WILL ALWAYS LOVE. he also is abusing drugs ( I gave them up years ago ) I just can't believe he had me locked up just got out today. Just so heartbroken over it all. But my kids are my TRUE LOVE FOR EVER ❤️
This song has stayed in my head since the day you left. Life was paradise since the moment we met. Things seemed so perfect and life could not get better. I just didnt end up being the man you were looking for in the end but not a day goes by I dont think of you Alicia Marie

Been listening to this song since it first came out. When life gets hard and I feel lonely I slow down and come back to this song. Music heals, especially when it's Dierks Bentley
Thanks for posting this video. I'm not a big fan of country but I enjoy Dierks...settle for a slowdown, every mile a memory, trying to stop your leaving...good stuff!
I sure do miss my mom..she used to love this one.. Honestly I can close my eyes and hear her singing it with that beautiful smile with nothing but the wind in her hair. So many feelings with this one🏹🛡️ all hits at once💔💙🖤
Every now and then I think about you. It's been years and I have someone new who I soon going to marry. life didn't go as planned but I will always remember how you just left me there in the dark, in my driveway while you drove away, praying for a slow down....
Tim Leake my wife of 11 years.... did the same exact thing! I watched her drive off with me in the driveway just speechless and devastated. All I wanted was a slow down and communication to save what was so so damn good between us. I'd give anything to do what DB did to this woman in this video to my ex today.... one day I just might.
5 years later and if it did hurt at all you didn't show it. I know you started a new family but I dreamt of you and him last night. Hope y'all are happy
Great songs like this is the reason I love country music. Tue life feelings sung poetically to mind pleasing melodies. I parallel new country to the singer/songwriters of the 70's.....All great...Too few and far between now in Popular music
@Dierks Bentley a.k.a have no clue who you are, but if u were Dierks I'd be Carrie Underwood..... nope Miranda Lambert have to be Carries not as rebellious as Miranda
Was fortunate enough to see him live in LV. AMAZING ! One heck of a performer +lot's of interaction w/ audience. Never have I seen such a giving performer.
I write and sing music just like this have been since I was 12. There is something about music that hits a spark in me. This guy is a country Legend in my eyes because you can hear the emotion behind his words.
I never knew this song would have an affect on me until I watched my cousins truck pulling out of our driveway, the day he was deploying, and I found myself singing the chorus. That was the worst feeling in the world not knowing what the future held, so why is this song so special to me?? I probably won't ever be able to answer that, but I would like to thank Dierks for singing this song.
This song is timeless. 2024 we’re still here.
❤2024 July
Yesss❤
Yessss!! December 2024
January 2025 ❤️🌹
Im obsessed with moment where he sings acoustic.. just him and his guitar.. and then the song fades back in. UGH.
One of the reasons I’ve watched/listened to this music video for years
Yes best part of the video ❤️
Yes and I love the look on the current boyfriends face where he's like oh sh@t that's the ex and he plays guitar, I'm f*cked😆
It gives me chills its such a hard hitting moment
Yup!
NOw that I’m older...this pulls the heart strings more than I ever could imagine.
Exactly
I first heard it off the album it was released on, back in 03' I think. I'm 29 now. Awesome music
it hurts mine
The acoustic part gets me every time.
Rachel
My favorite song by him...I always love it when he breaks into the party and busts out the 6-string.
Justin 53ro they’re a preppy citiot most likely don’t know how to load a gun.
My favorite song too
2009: Aww, that scene was so sweet!
2023: That guy's unhinged, she should get a restraining order!
Is it possible for this guy to make a bad song? He can write songs that are lighthearted and positive, such as "Free and Easy" and "Drunk on a Plane," and turn around and make something like this, and "I Hold On" which hit you right in the feels. Both styles are equally amazing. Dierks has a versatility that very few country artists have.
No I don't think it is possible he's to good his songs have. Meaning
Jamey Johnson has the soul of one of the Outlaws bud. If you haven't heard him you should check him out, he has no bad songs.
Cory Newman OMG! You read my mind! I think the exact same thing about him. I have never listened to another artist ( country or rock ) that doesn't have a few songs that are not so great. But I have never heard a bad song from this guy. He is amazing!
Cory Newman I
2020 and still coming back to this over and over. I'll never grow tired of song. It is, in my opinion, his best one yet.
Thelma Houk i agree this album is the best
There some problems, when gretting is s9 askalmed, so can diport
This song just hits different
Like the song from" the brave ones"
Over and over and over and over. If it was a cassette tape from my day it would be warped by now
That plea “Come on tap those breaks, baby just one time” is like you can hear the soul of the man screaming & begging to understand how the leaving is so easy for her as his world comes crashing down. He’s willing to let her go and understands why she is, but the pleading for her to not shrug it off like it was nothing...that’s what makes this song hit so hard. There is nothing louder than a applause of silence and the coldness of heartbreak that 100% one sided.
Ya I’d settle for a slowdown
It's a universal feeling. It bridges the gap between tons of life events that we have zero control over.
By the time the woman leaves she's done. It dosent seem sudden to her. She has fought as much as she could.
Then she didn’t love him or she would have fought for him
You interpreted those lyrics so incredibly well! Just give me a sign you even cared.
If it hurts at all, you ain't shown it yet. 💔
Wise words & true !
Ally S
I keep lookin’ for the slightest sign that you might miss what you left behind..
A bit like Gordon Lightfoot's "But stories always end And if you read between the lines You'll know that I'm just trying to understand The feelings that you lack"
My fav worst part
I love the acoustic part of this! Damn good song!
me 2
Cody DeWeever for sure
Agreed!
One of the best country songs ever. One of the best songs of any genre.
That era of country was really good
This song will always hold a special place in my heart. Not due to a breakup but solely because it's a phenomenal song that takes me back to the times when life was just so simple.
Same. Lot of those slow country songs I feel that way about from when I was younger....miss those times listening in the truck with my dad
In 2005? It was the beginning of the horrible years. Not good happened in 2000s
@@naughtyvalues Yes, 2005 was fantastic for me. The middle class wasn’t destroyed, I’d still have my family and a lot of my friends here today still.
Same feeling
Yess 🥺
I remember watching this on CMT top 20 countdown when it came out in 2005
My favorite Dierks song!
My favorite Dierk song too.🤗😎
Back when country was still worth a damn
Rock God very very true
Jeremy Pesce yes!! Now some of the new stuff isn't bad BUT back to these days there was more good stuff going on
Not that I don't completely agree, but to be fair, back in the 90s people were saying country wasn't country anymore. It's all subjective. But, I do subjectively agree!
Johnny Cash said Garth Brooks wasn’t country. Garth Brooks said Florida Georgia Line isn’t country. Florida Georgia Line will say the same to some future country singer. Endless cycle
@@caribbeanbound8357
It's really all just opinions at this point.
I’ve had this on repeat for an hour. Just heard it yesterday. Absolutely underrated
This is the song that originally made me a Dierks fan.
definitely one of his best songs!
my favorite song.
Me too! Amen! He's had more talent in his thumb from day one than most artists.
👌
marati87 woot me too 😍, I love him!! hope to see him here I nc on July 11 on his tour
Keep ya head up boys, it’s never our time, just our turn. Keep pushing foward, the right one WILL come.
Beautifully dreary ballad. Perfect for driving and crying during a rainy night.
The most underrated country song of my generation. By far.
most underrated artist ~ as well. dude's an animal
Anthony Young Agreed!!
Ev Green Youre not kidding...Such a uniquely, real, sincere voice, so many great songs, even his goofier ones SOUND great.
Anthony Young completely agree love his voice and his songs just fit!! Its crazy
Anthony Young , I agree he should have been superstar status right up there with, George Strait.
Saying your peace. Walking away. Not even waiting for a reply. Boss level achieved.
I couldn't agree with you more!
Facts 💯
❤ silly man ####slowdown!! Broke my heart when I heard this
"I know there's nothing stopping you now" Anyone who has been through a bad breakup knows that part well. This song is PURE GOLD IN 2023.
Going to see him in June... can't wait... this is my favorite modern country singer
Dam right
Yep.. except knowing the woman left you for something better end up with a trash, and lost all that she had
Really... man
This song gives me that “in another lifetime” vibe. If you have been there you would know it sucks
Really love that acoustic part
He's one of the most amazing country singers I've ever heard. His music is so realistic, and makes sense. Unlike some other lyrical music... that makes no sense whatsoever
So Dierks definitely needs to do an acoustic version of this. Like right now.
Thanks for your utmost love and support has brought me this far, it has been a hard time for me going through this, but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times. I do read your heartwarming comments and i truly appreciate all.

@@dierksbentley3320 Are you the real Dierks Bentley? I thought you'd have a publicist do this.
Dierks Bentley is a beast!!!!!! Thank you for the songs that can get you through everything. Bad spots. Am i right?
“i’m not asking you to turn back around” hits so hard. i feel the same about someone. they’ve made up their mind and moved on, i could live with being friends. but to never see them again hurts.
Love this song. Enjoy seeing you perform great country music! 🎤🎶🎵🤘❤️
One word Beautiful ,song ,,,,, Handsome guy
Sad country music is the best kind of country music imho. This is Dierk’s magnus opus.
Man I just love that scene where he starts playing at the dinner party, gets me everytime.
It has probably been said 1,000 times over, but WHO WOULD LEAVE DIERKS BENTLEY!?!? I would live in that little silver trailer with him forever!!! Geez.
This song still brings tears to my eyes...
Love this song. I saw him in concert last night in Camden NJ for the third time. He was amazing as always.
In almost 2019 and I’m still jammin 🤙🏼
I think he got his songs from my life...before I lived it.
@Dierks Bentley why thank you, and no I haven't been to any of your concerts. I bounce between TN and Kansas City Missouri. I will be trying to make time to get to one. Are you presently touring?
Even though he is standing under a cloudless sky and it suddenly begins to rain within 15 seconds... Still a great song, probably my favorite.
Damn Dierks Bentley sure did used to have some real bangers
There is true love out there for all of us(: it will happen when we least expect it........ Keep your eyes open(:
Bama Jean Yeah I totally agree!!!!
Amen, to that
After three years I am still waiting.
I've had nothing but long term relationships. My longest was 8 years and 3 beautiful kids with her. It kills me every single day knowing she is with someone else and I have no one to blame but myself. She is the one I dream of and think about on a daily.

Just so heartbroken over it all. But my kids are my TRUE LOVE FOR EVER ❤️
I wouldnt just settle for a slowdown, I'd fricken stop for Mr. Dierks :)
back when I was obsessed with country music
This song is a classic and one that will always be on my playlists.
I listen to it every day 😊
Saw him preform this song at my first concert. Still hits me with emotions today
Dierks curls will forever have my heart ❤
2021. Haven't left my house all weekend. Depression and heartbreak are terrible together
I hope you're OK now 😀 God bless you 🙏
That band deserves a lot of recognition for making this song as well.
The first country song I fell in love with! 🥰
This song has stayed in my head since the day you left. Life was paradise since the moment we met. Things seemed so perfect and life could not get better. I just didnt end up being the man you were looking for in the end but not a day goes by I dont think of you Alicia Marie
I completely understand where you're coming from. Shits terrible. Like being stabbed in the chest.
Mine's name is Kimberly Lynn... 💔😔

Heartbreak sucks especially when the other person doesn't even seem to care anymore. 😔
Robbie Robbert d
Amen.
It's the worsed
Amen brother
Yeah man.... it’s does... especially when the other person cheats on you...😔
One of the best country singers! Greetings from Poland.
one of my all-time fave songs💜
I'll definitely be slowing down leaving, but I'll be on that high speed coming back ❤❤❤
best country song EVER :)
❤️3:04❤
Most underrated country artist of the last two decades.
I've always liked this song... 😊
When you watch her speed into a crash......helpless. ❤❤❤
I'd settle for a slow down....
Dude, this song is my feels, in song form.
With self-driving cars and the floating concept of a repossession driving itself away, this song takes on a new meaning.
I'd settle for a slow down. God dam why does it have to hurt so bad?
Tyler Thompson to make you recognise you're not an island
Tyler Thompson because we had to see we deserve better. God had someone greater in mind 😉😍
Been listening to this song since it first came out. When life gets hard and I feel lonely I slow down and come back to this song. Music heals, especially when it's Dierks Bentley
This was the first song of his I ever heard way back when. And now I'm finally going to see him this summer
Thanks for posting this video. I'm not a big fan of country but I enjoy Dierks...settle for a slowdown, every mile a memory, trying to stop your leaving...good stuff!
This song hits hard
Thissong. Rocks
I remember waking up to this playing on cmt Saturday mornings. Where has the time gone 😩
Such a relatable song. If it hurts at all she ain't showed it yet. Just left me and the dog.
This is my favorite song. This has gotten me through a lot of depression. Can't wait to see him in concert.
Meanwhile, this song is dedicated to an ex I left. Ugh, the choices in life..
This is my favorite by Dierks Bentley.
one of greatest country songs ever written
Great song and video !!
@Frederick Dierks Bentley Oh, I am fine, Happy New Year 2021, may it play good music for all the World to listen to, not hear, listen!!!!
One of the last real country singers to get played on top 40. Love this song.
This song makes me stop. Remember for a moment. Breathe deep and life goes on. I Love this song.
I sure do miss my mom..she used to love this one.. Honestly I can close my eyes and hear her singing it with that beautiful smile with nothing but the wind in her hair. So many feelings with this one🏹🛡️ all hits at once💔💙🖤
I love in the video when he is writing this heartfelt song, then sings it to her with no one knowing what's up, but has the balls to do it!
This is one of the best country songs of all time. Should have been a 90s song.
He Is One Of The Best In Country
I still love this song! Its my favorite!
Seeing him again tonight!
Love the song, love the video!!
Dierks is definitely one of the most talented country artists. I love all his music, hes creative and a great guy.
Every now and then I think about you. It's been years and I have someone new who I soon going to marry. life didn't go as planned but I will always remember how you just left me there in the dark, in my driveway while you drove away, praying for a slow down....
Tim Leake my wife of 11 years.... did the same exact thing! I watched her drive off with me in the driveway just speechless and devastated. All I wanted was a slow down and communication to save what was so so damn good between us. I'd give anything to do what DB did to this woman in this video to my ex today.... one day I just might.

Great songs like this is the reason I love country music. Tue life feelings sung poetically to mind pleasing melodies. I parallel new country to the singer/songwriters of the 70's.....All great...Too few and far between now in Popular music
Love this song Slow Down ,,,Dierks Bentley,,,,,got to think he is simply so good looking
One of my favorite songs ever!! 2019 ya'll still listening too?? #JustaFanFromOklahoma
nope, but 2020 is
@Heather Lyn If you ever leave me I'd chase after you with my guitar and sing to you, please dont ever leave me 😕😕
2021
@Dierks Bentley a.k.a have no clue who you are, but if u were Dierks I'd be Carrie Underwood..... nope Miranda Lambert have to be Carries not as rebellious as Miranda
@@crimsontide1980 lmao😁✌️
I'm going to see him this month July 9th an can not wait!
such a damn good song he just wanted an acknowledgement
Was fortunate enough to see him live in LV. AMAZING ! One heck of a performer +lot's of interaction w/ audience. Never have I seen such a giving performer.
Damn. Perfect song
Hoping and praying for this moment. Just not sure if i did anything worth it.
if it hurts at all you ain't showed it yet!!! ❤❤❤
I write and sing music just like this have been since I was 12. There is something about music that hits a spark in me. This guy is a country Legend in my eyes because you can hear the emotion behind his words.
all of that trouble to sing those words to her, big smack to the face, and just walks away like she did...lovely touch.
Briana MW high maintenance,man using biatches
I never knew this song would have an affect on me until I watched my cousins truck pulling out of our driveway, the day he was deploying, and I found myself singing the chorus. That was the worst feeling in the world not knowing what the future held, so why is this song so special to me??

I Love Him, And His Curly Hair! 😘😍❤
Bring this style back 😍
Leave me and I'll show up at your house unannounced!! I'm Dierks DAMMIT!!!! LOL!! Great song!
I swear I have watched this 100 times today, Such a love story, so what if I'ma dude and I cried my eyes out....
Love this song
