I was totin' my pack along a 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 I settled down inside,
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand,
I said, "Listen, Bud I've traveled every road in this here land."
I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere, man,
I've crossed the deserts bare, man,
I've breathed the mountain air, man,
Of travel, I've had my share, man, I've been everywhere.
Been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota,
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota,
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma,
Tampa, Panama, Yakima, La Paloma,
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo,
Pottsville, Woodville, Waterville. What a thrill!
I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere, man,
I've crossed the deserts bare, man,
I've breathed the mountain air, man,
Of travel, I've had my share, man, I've been everywhere.

Washington, Wilmington, Burlington, Texarkana,
Monterey, Santa Fe, Green Bay, Tuscaloosa,
Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa,

I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere, man,
I've crossed the deserts bare, man,
I've breathed the mountain air, man,
Of travel, I've had my share, man, I've been everywhere.

Huntsville, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Costa Rica,
Pittsfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport,
Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond Du Lac, Davenport,
