Ain't no stopping this thing he's chasing

Ain't no stopping this runaway train he's on

He's wishing his wishes and missing his station

It's there one t minute, and the next it's gone, gone, gone

Keeps on betting on winning this race

Don't see it looking him in his face



He's already there

He's already made it

He's already stolen the show

He just don't know



There ain't no stopping this rollercoaster

There ain't no jumping this merry-go-round she rides

You won't see this girl smelling these roses

You won't catch this girl showing this thorn she hides

A love bound mother and a dutiful wife

Too much living and not enough life



She's already there

She's already made it

She's already stolen the show

She just don't know



And It'll never be right unless one of them sees

The proverbial wood from the proverbial trees.



They're already there

They've already made it

They've already stolen the show

They just don't know



It's on the tip of my tongue

It's there and then it's gone

It's coming around again

It's just around this bend

It's over the horizon

It's right before my eyes

It's right beneath my feet



Ain't no stopping this thing we're chasing

Ain't no stopping this runaway train we're on
