Lyrics

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, I've traveled every road in this here land."

(Chorus)
I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Across 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:
Reno, chicago, fargo, minnesota, buffalo, toronto, winslow, sarasota, wichita, tulsa, ottawa, oklahoma, tampa, panama, mattawa, lapaloma, bangor, baltimore, salvador, amarillo, tocapillo, barranquilla, and padilla

(Chorus)
I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Across 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, ferriday, santa fe, tallapoosa, glen rock, black
Rock, little rock, oskaloosa, tennessee, tennessee, chicopee, spirit lake
Grand lake, devil's lake, crater lake, for pete's sake

(Chorus)
I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Across 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 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'a

Chattanika, chaska, nebraska, alaska, opelika, baraboo, waterloo, kalamazoo

(Chorus)
I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Across 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
