Stop This Train lyrics

No, I'm not color blind

I know the world is black and white

I try to keep an open mind

But I just can't sleep on this, tonight

Stop this train

I want to 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?

Don't know how else to say it

I don't want to see my parents go

One generation's length away

From fighting life out on my own

Stop this train

I want to 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?

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

You'll renegotiate"

"Don't stop this train

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

And don't think I couldn't ever understand

I tried my hand

John, honestly, we'll never stop this train"

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

'Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark

Singing, stop this train

I want to 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.
