I was totin' my pack Along the dusty Winnemucca road When along came a semi With a high and canvas covered load "If you're going to Winnemucca, Mack 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." (Chorus) 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 every- where. 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'm a killer. 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 every- where. Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana, Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana, Monterey, Ferriday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa, Tennessee, Hennessey, Chicopee, Spirit Lake, Grand Lake, Devil's 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 every- where. Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Ombabika, Shefferville, Jacksonville, Waterville, Costa Rica, Pittsfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport, Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond Du Lac, Davenport, Idaho, Jellicoe, Argentina, Diamontina, Pasadena, Catalina, see what I mean, sir; 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 every- where. Pittsburgh, Parkersburg, Gravellburg, Colorado, Ellensburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, Eldorado, Larrimore, Atmore, Haverstraw, Chattanika, Chaska, Nebraska, Alaska, Opelika,Baraboo, Waterloo, Kalamazoo, Kansas City, Sioux City, Cedar City, Dodge City, what a pity; 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 know some place you haven't been." I've been every- where."
