Stop This Train lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Stop this train
I wanna 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?

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Stop this train
I wanna 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?
[Verse 3]
So scared of gettin' 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

[Outro]
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"
