Someone Stop This Train

This was recorded during my last few minutes of being 59. Life is dragging me kicking and screaming into my 60s. I'm not happy about it. 

Don't you get it? I'm 23 honest. I've been 23 my whole life? 

Have I made my last trip to Dairy Queen? It turns out everything I eat is poison. That's something you know but don't care, and it turns out you should've cared a little more than you did.

John Mayer has a great song called "Stop this Train" that has a line John 

Had a talk with my old man
Said, "Help me understand"
He said, "Turn 68"
"You renegotiate"

I was able to renew my drivers license for 8 years which means aside from a sticker (which I can get through the mail) I will be 68 the next time I renew my liscene.

WHen you go to the MBV you go in and get a number, and wait for your name to be called. I kind of feel like a 'This is not a drill" situation, and I'm waiting for my number to be called. UNlike the BMV, I'm hoping for a very long line.

You can buy me a coffee for my birthday using this link.

John Mayer - Stop This Train

No I'm not colorblind
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 fighting life out on my own

 

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 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"
"John, 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
Till 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
It's movin in
I know I can't
'Cause now I see
I'll never stop this train
