Stop This Train
No, I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind, but
I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's movin' in
I know I can't
But honestly,
won't someone stop this train?

Don't know how else to say it
don't wanna see my parents go
One generation's length away
from fightin' life out on my own

Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's movin' in
I know I can't
But honestly,
won't someone stop this train?

So scared of gettin' 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
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
And they're all still around
and they're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
till you cry when you're drivin'
away in the dark
singin'

Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed
it's movin' in
I know I can't
'Cause now I see
I'll never stop this train
