You can't
stop lightning when it hits a tree You can't stop progress You can't stop me You can't stop a bird when it wants to fly And this is good-bye I watched a hummingbird today as it hovered in the air Testing all the flowers out seemed it didn't care She was going to taste them all just like that Lured in by the scent of each then leaving them flat You can't stop the wind when it wants to blow You can't ask a dog to sit when he wants to go You can't ask the rain not to fall or the sky not to be blue You can't ask an old boy to learn a new trick or two You can't stop the locomotive from being a train You can't stop me from leaving in the rain You can't keep me here with one last good cry This is good-bye I saw a city bus as it hurried down the street Inside were lots of people with places to go people to meet Their worlds moved on like revolving doors Staying here today but not for tomorrow not gonna see you no more You can't stop lightning when it hits a tree You can't stop a new day from coming, you can't stop me You can't stop a bird when its her turn to fly And this is this is good-bye other possible verses: You can't stop the world as its spins round n round You can't keep a woman from going into town You can't stop a salesman from making a final pitch And you can't lead a horse home that wanders off from his hitch The sun's gonna rise the sun's gonna fall There'll always be someone lingering way past the last call I haven't lost my timing and its my time to quit You can't stop me You can say this is good-bye This is what we've come to That's the bitter truth of it.
