Stop This Train
No, I'm not color blindI know the world is black and whiteI try to keep an open mindBut I just can't sleep on this, tonight
Stop this trainI want to get off and go home againI can't take the speed it's moving inI know I can'tBut, honestly, won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say itI don't want to see my parents goOne generation's length awayFrom fighting life out on my own
Stop this trainI want to get off and go home againI can't take the speed it's moving inI know I can'tBut, honestly, won't someone stop this train?
So scared of getting olderI'm only good at being youngSo I play the numbers gameTo find a way to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old manSaid, "Help me understand"He said, "Turn sixty-eightYou'll renegotiate"
"Don't stop this trainDon't for a minute change the place you're inAnd don't think I couldn't ever understandI tried my handJohn, honestly, we'll never stop this train"
Once in a while, when it's goodIt'll feel like it shouldWhen you're all still aroundAnd you're still safe and soundAnd you don't miss a thing'Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark
Singing, stop this trainI want to get off and go home againI can't take the speed it's moving inI know, I can'tCause now I see I'll never stop this train.
