Stop this train

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

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, but honestly, won't someone stop this train?

Don't know how else to say it

Don't want to see my parents go (my parents go)

One generation's length away from

Fighting life out on my own (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, but honestly, won't someone stop this train?

So scared of getting older

I don't need 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 re-negotiate"

Don't stop this train

But don't for a minute change the place you're in

I don't think I could ever understand

I tried my hand, John, honestly, I'll never stop this train

Once in a while, when it's good, it'll feel like it should

And we'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

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, 'cause now I see, I'll never stop this train
