[Verse 1]
No, I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
I try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight
[Chorus]
Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
[Verse 2]
Don't know how else to say it
Don't wanna see my parents go
One generation's length away
From finding life out on my own
[Chorus]
Oh, come on, stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I'm so scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said "Help me understand"
He said, "Turn sixty-eight, oh, you'll re-negotiate"
[Chorus]
"Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
Don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly, we'll never stop this train"
[Bridge]
Oh, now, once in a while, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
'Til you cry when you're driving away in the dark, yeah
Singing
[Chorus]
Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
'Cause now I see I'm never gonna stop this train
[Outro]
Never gonna stop this train
Oh, I'm never gonna stop this train
Oh, I'm never gonna stop this train
Oh, I'm never gonna stop this train
Thank you
How you feel tonight? You ready to hear a lotta music?
