Lyrics

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 wanna get off and go home again

I can't take the speed it's movin' in

I know I can't

But honestly, won't someone stop this train?

Don't know how else to say it

Don't wanna see my parents go

One generation's length away

From fightin' life out on my own

Stop this train

I wanna get off and go home again

I can't take the speed, it's movin' in

I know I can't

But honestly, won't someone stop this train?

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

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

And they're all still around

And they're still safe and sound

And you don't miss a thing

Till you cry when you're drivin' away in the dark

Singin' stop this train

I wanna get off and go home again

I can't take the speed it's movin' in

I know I can't

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