[Intro]

[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 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?

[Verse 2]
    Don't know how else to say it
    I 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 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?

[Verse melody + Whistling solo]

[Verse 3]
    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

[Pre-Chorus]
    Had a talk with my old man
    Said, "Help me understand"
    He said, "Turn sixty-eight
    You'll renegotiate"
[Chorus]
    "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"

[Bridge]
    Once in a while, when it's good
    It'll feel like it should
    When you're all still around
    And you're still safe and sound
    And you don't miss a thing
    'Till you cryyy   when you're driving away in the dark

[Chorus]
    Singing, 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
    'Cause now I see I'll never stop this train.

[Outro melody]
