I loved that song...I had all the words memorized back in the 70's.
Whenever we took a road trip the standard line was:
I wonder if anybody'd think I'd/we'd flipped
If I went to (fill in our destination) via Omaha!
It was a long song, well over 5 min and Top 40 radio heads had a hard time slotting it in. As always the suits were clueless on things other than how many ads they could slot and not run afoul of the FCC!
