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't
 But honestly won't someone stop this train

 Don't know how else to say it, 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 away 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
 Don't think I couldn't ever understand
 I tried my hand
 John, honestly we'll never stop this train

 See once in a while when it's good
 It'll feel like it should
 And 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 this speed it's moving in
 I know I can't
 Cause now I see I'll never stop this train

 (think I got 'em now)
