One generation's length away

From fighting life out on my own

Had a talk with my old man 
Said help me understand

Don't for a minute change the place you're in

Don't think I couldn't ever understand 
I tried my hand 
A                          Am        D 
John, honestly we'll never stop this train 

    G         A7              Bm 
See once in a while when it's good 
                   G 
It'll feel like it should 
C                     A7 
And they're all still around 
           Bm             G 
And you're still safe and sound

And you don't miss a thing 
         Bm       C      D       Am          G 
'til you cry when you're driving away in the dark. 

        G                                        D 
Singing stop this train I want to get off and go home again 
                             E7 
I can't take this speed it's moving in 
I know I can't 
A                    Am              Dsus2 
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
