Action C!

 “Action C!”

Sung and performed by Jane Amstutz

Lyrics by Will Anderson, Gabe Schall and Jefferson Campbell
 Music by Will Anderson (CMU Alma Mater written by Ruth Mavis)

(Alma Mater motif then segue)

Mackinaw City girl driving back from LA
 Pulls into town just to see how campus changed
 Maroon and gold leaves on September trees
 As the marching band music floats on the breeze
 She says “All roads lead me home to Central”
 
 He's a Kent County boy sick of sittin’ in a dead-end lane
 Chose the open road to Central, hungry for change
 He hit the ground runnin’ on his first day  
 And blazed his own trail and now he’s doin’ okay 
 He said “All roads lead me home to Central”
 
 So fire up and you throw an Action C
 ‘cause Central’s got  your opportunity
 So fire up throw that C into the air
 The Central secret’s too good not to share

(Alma Mater reprise)  
 All roads lead you home to Central
  

So fire up and you throw an Action C
 Central is the best place you can be
 So fire up throw that C into the air
 The Central secret’s too good not to share

Pitched a song in Nashville the other day
 Thanks to an alum who happened to see me play
 He put his card in my jar along with a five
 Threw an action C said “I know a guy!”
 All roads lead you home
 No matter where you roam
 ‘Cause all roads lead you home…
 To Central 
 
 (Alma Mater motif out)
