Cameron Mitchell - Stop This Train

No, I'm not colorblind.
I know the world is black or 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 fighting my 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 getting older.
I'm only good at being young.
So I play the numbers game to say that life has just begun.


Had a talk with my old man.
Said, Help me understand
He said, "Turn 68...
You 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. honestly, we'll never stop this train.


Once in a while, when its 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 when you cry when you're drivin away in the dark.


Singing,
Stop this train.
I wanna get off and go home again.
I can't take the speed its movin in
I know I can't. oh, honestly,
I'll never stop this train.
