Lyrics

Central City

[Chorus]

I can't wait for Central City

I’m gonna start a whole new life

I've seen a picture, it's so pretty

I can’t wait to get to Central City

[Verse 1]

I've got a long way to go

And I ain't gonna be moving slow

I'm gonna fly right through the breeze

Like I've got a new pair of wings

I'm not even gonna stop

I don't care if I see a cop

I got this twitching in my knees

[Chorus]

I can't wait for Central City

I’m gonna start a whole new life

I’ve seen a picture, it's so pretty

I can’t wait to get to Central City

[Verse 2]

I've got a long way to go

And I ain't gonna be moving slow

I'm gonna fly right through the breeze

Like I’ve got a new pair of wings

I'm not even gonna stop

I don't care if I see a cop

I got this twitching in my knees

Whoa, I can't wait

[Outro]

I can't wait for Central City

I can't wait for Central City

I can't wait for Central City

I can't wait to get to Central City
