Lyrics
Ticket for a ride to the central time
How could anybody protest city life?
coming tonight to the central time zone
house is haunted up the stairs
nothing ever feels right over there
god I love the countryside
but in 24 hours I'll be crossing them lines
Back to the city back to life
get me back to Minneapolis
oh Minneapolis
back to the midwest
back to the city that river splits
Minneapolis, Minneapolis
On 26th Street I was 20 years old
I dreamed about my first first avenue show
I skipped alot of stones in the central time zone
and now I see alot of cities
I spill alot of wine
i got the music in me
and it's all so fine
they ask me "Are you satisfied?"
all that I wanted was central time
all I ever wanted was central time
(chorus)
So I packed my stuff
I started my car
nothing ever feels like where you are
it's been alot of years since yesterday
but the marathon man's got music to play
and just enough money for gas one way
