Stop This Train

[Verse 1]

No I'm not color blind

I know the world is black and white

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 want to see my parents go

One generation's length away

From fighting life out on my own

[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 3]

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 68

You'll renegotiate"

[Chorus]

Don't stop this train

Don't for a minute change the place you're in

And don't think I could ever understand

I tried my hand

John, honestly we'll never stop this train

[Bridge]

Once in a while, when it's good

It'll feel like it should

When you'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

[Chorus]

Singing 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'll never stop this train
