Stop This Train

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 they'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't 'Cause, now, I see, I'll never stop this train
