I've Been Everywhere
Johnny Cash Lyrics

I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road
I was carrying my backpack on the dirt road in Winnemucca

When along came a semi with a high an' canvas covered load
Then a big rig truck with a tall and covered load showed up

"If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride"
"If you're heading to Winnemucca, Mack, you can ride with me"

And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside
Thus I entered the cab and made myself comfortable

He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
He inquired if I had seen a road as dusty and sandy as this one

And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land"
And I replied, "Listen, I have explored every road in this country"

I've been everywhere, man
I have been everywhere

Crossed the desert's bare, man
I crossed the bare deserts

I've breathed the mountain air, man
I have breathed the fresh air of mountains
