I've Been Everywhere

I was totin' my pack along a dusty Winnemucca road,

When along came a semi with a high canvas covered load.

"If you're going to Winnemucca, Mac with me you can ride."

So I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside.

He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand?

And I said, "Listen, Bud I've traveled every road in this here land."

I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere, man,

'Cross the deserts bare, man, I've breathed the mountain air, man,

Of travel, I've had my share, man, I've been everywhere.

I been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota, Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota,

Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma, Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma,

Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo, Tocopilla, Barranquilla, and Padilla.

I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere, man,

'Cross the deserts bare, man, I've breathed the mountain air, man,

Of travel, I've had my share, man, I've been everywhere.

I'VE BEEN TO

Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana, Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana,

Monterey, Ferraday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa, Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock,

Oskaloosa, Tennessee, Hennessey, Chicopee, Spirit Lake, Grand Lake, Devil Lake,

Crater Lake. For Pete's sake!

I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere, man,

'Cross the deserts bare, man, I've breathed the mountain air, man,

Of travel, I've had my share, man, I've been everywhere.

I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere, man,

'Cross the deserts bare, man, I've breathed the mountain air, man,

Of travel, I've had my share, man, I've been everywhere.

And I've been to Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Ombabika, Shefferville, Jacksonville, Waterville, Costa Rica, Pittsfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport, Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond Du Lac, Davenport, Idaho, Jellicoe, Pickle Cros, Argentina, Diamontina, Pasadena, Catalina. See what I mean!

I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere, man,

'Cross the deserts bare, man, I've breathed the mountain air, man,

Of travel, I've had my share, man, I've been everywhere.
