I’ve studies physics for two years, and while I do think that centripetal would be more appropriate, the song does say ‘centrifugal.’ We cannot expect Faith Hill to be truly proficient in the ways of science.
Always sounded like centripetal to me when she sings it, either that or cen-triff-igal motion. If it says one thing in the song, and something else in the CD-notes, well, it wouldn’t be the first time they haven’t matched.
