Stop The Time

If I could stop the time when I needed a break

Get off the train and let it go it's way

I wouldn't have known how to thank you



I've got a girl I love, three kids and a house

Bills to my neck, working hours at night

I've got friends I never get to see no more

A house to paint, a gate and a door

Flowers to grow, a road to clean

A lawn to cut, it's pretty steep

I can't go nowhere without my job

My telephone's ringing all day long



And if I could stop the time when I needed a break

Get off the train and let it go it's way

I wouldn't know how to thank you

If I could stop the time, let it all fly away

Take a long, deep breath and stay for a day

I wouldn't know what to say

But maybe I wouldn't feel this way



Became a dad to a girl at the age eighteen

And ever since then she's motivated me

I write songs for a living and I play the guitar

At night in those clubs go a little too far

And my baby keeps waiting while I'm away

Anxious and sad 'cause she wants me to stay

I've got a job that requires a lot of me

Pulled in every direction, but so is she



If I could stop the time when I needed a break

Get off the train and let it go it's way

I wouldn't know how to thank you

If I could stop the time, let it all fly by

Take a deep, long breath and stay for a while

I wouldn't know what to say

And maybe I wouldn't feel this way



I ain't complaining

I'm just telling how things are

I'm way over my head here

I'm a worn out man who doesn't know where to start

So I turn to you



If I could stop the time when I needed a break

Get off the train and let it go it's way

I wouldn't have known how to thank you

If I could stop the time, let it all fly by

Take a deep, long breath and stay for a while

I wouldn't know what to say

But maybe I wouldn't feel this way



If I could stop the time when I needed a break

Get off the train and let it go it's way

I wouldn't know how to thank you

If I could stop the time, let it fly it's way

Take a long, deep breath and stay for a day

I wouldn't know what to say

But maybe I wouldn't feel this way
