Everywhere I Go
L.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 goin' 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"

Well, I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Travel, I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere, man

I've been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo
Tocapilla, Paranquilla and Perdilla, I'm a killer

Well, I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Travel, I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere, man

I've been to Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana
Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana
Monterey, Faraday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa
Glenrock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa
Tennessee, Hennessey, Chicopee, Spirit Lake
Grand Lake, Devil Lake, Crater Lake for Pete's sake

Well, I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Travel, I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere, man

I've been to Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Ombabika
Schefferville, Jacksonville, Waterville, Costa Rica
Pittsfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport
Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond Du Lac, Davenport
Idaho, Jellico, Argentina, Diamantina
Pasadena, Catalina, see what I mean-a

Well, I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Travel, I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere, man

I've been to Pittsburgh, Parkersburg, Gravelbourg, Colorado
Ellensburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, Eldorado
Larimore, Atmore, Haverstraw, Chatanika
Chaska, Nebraska, Alaska, Opelika
Baraboo, Waterloo, Kalamazoo, Kansas city
Sioux city, Cedar city, Dodge city, what a pity

Well, I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Travel, I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere

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 goin' to Winnemucca, mack, with me you can ride"




And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land"
I've been everywhere

Overall Meaning

The song "I've Been Everywhere" by L.M. is a classic country song that tells the story of a traveler who has journeyed across the United States and visited countless cities and towns. The song begins with the singer describing himself as a wanderer, carrying his pack along the dusty road to Winnemucca, Nevada. A semi-truck pulls up and offers him a ride, and the two set off on a journey across the country.


As they travel, the singer lists off the many places he has visited, from Reno and Chicago to Buffalo and Toronto. He also includes more obscure locations like Tocapilla, Paranquilla, and Perdilla, all in South America. The song is repetitive, but the repetition serves to emphasize the vast array of locations the singer has been to. By the end of the song, he declares that he has literally been everywhere in the country.
