Central Time Lyrics - Singles - Pokey Lafarge

The Missouri is my right arm, 

the Ohio is my left 

But I'm livin' on the Mississippi River 

where I like life the best 

I don't mind the west coast, 

and I don't mind the east coast 

Oh, baby but I-I-I-I 

ain't gonna live on no coast 

Chorus: 

I'm just a plaaaain old Midwestern boy 

Just gettin' by on Central time 

Some people say 

that the Mississippi River is 

the backbone of the nation 

They can say whatever they want, 

I won't disagree with that statement 

I-I-I see people 

workin' hard as ever, 

just wondering what I-ay-ay 

can do to make their lives better 

Chorus: 

I'm just a plain old Midwestern boy 

Gettin' by on Central time 

Bridge: 

Well, I won't worry 

if the world don't like me, 

I won't let 'em waste my time 

There ain't nothin' 

goin' to change my mind, 

I feel fine 

Gettin' by on Central time 

I won't worry 

if the world don't like me, 

I won't let 'em waste my time 

There ain't nothin' 

goin' to change my mind, 

I'm feelin' fine 

because... 

The Missouri is my right arm, 

the Ohio is my left 

But I'm livin' on the Mississippi River 

where I like life the best 

I don't mind the west coast, 

I sure don't mind the east coast 

Oh, baby but I-I-I-I 

ain't gonna live on no coast 

Chorus: 

I'm just a plain old Midwestern boy 

Gettin' by on Central time
