If I could stop the time when I needed a break Get off the train and let it go it's way I wouldn't have known how to thank you
I've got a girl I love, three kids and a house Bills to my neck, working hours at night I've got friends I never get to see no more A house to paint, a gate and a door Flowers to grow, a road to clean A lawn to cut, it's pretty steep I can't go nowhere without my jo My telephone's ringing all day long
And if I could stop the time when I needed a break Get off the train and let it go it's way I wouldn't know how to thank you If I could stop the time, let it all fly away Take a long, deep breath and stay for a day I wouldn't know what to say But maybe I wouldn't feel this way
Became a dad to a girl at the age eighteen And ever since then she's motivated me I write songs for a living and I play the guitar At night in those clubs go a little too far And my baby keeps waiting while I'm away Anxious and sad 'cause she wants me to stay I've got a job that requires a lot of me Pulled in every direction, but so is she
If I could stop the time when I needed a break Get off the train and let it go it's way I wouldn't know how to thank you If I could stop the time, let it all fly by Take a deep, long breath and stay for a while I wouldn't know what to say And maybe I wouldn't feel this way
I ain't complaining I'm just telling how things are I'm way over my head here I'm a worn out man who doesn't know where to start So I turn to you
If I could stop the time when I needed a break Get off the train and let it go it's way I wouldn't have known how to thank you If I could stop the time, let it all fly by Take a deep, long breath and stay for a while I wouldn't know what to say But maybe I wouldn't feel this way
