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 wanna 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 wanna 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 could 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 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 wanna 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 --- Stop This Train - Lindsay Ell
