In the early part of the 20th Century
deep inside the American wilderness
in the state of Kansas - 82, 000 square miles of flat
there were two automobile cars
On July 5th 1904 they ran into each other
Hey-ho, what do we know?
I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO

Some reason I thought about you and me
I remember the day as if my life was flat
I looked up and there you were
I said to myself, Look out honey, here I come!
Hey-ho, what do we know?
I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO

Flat is all that I see
Flat is all that I see
The train came back
It swallowed up the track
Now flat is all that I see
Flat is all that I see
What do we know?
I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO

In the days you been gone I thought about them two cars
Weather conditions had been reasonable, visibility fine
I said to myself, What was it? An idea whose time had come?
Or maybe it had, it had
just seemed like a good idea at the time?
Hey-ho, what do we know?
I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO
Hey-ho, what do we know?
I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO
