I've been Everywhere (In Texas)

• Song by: Johnny Cash


I was toting my pack along a dusty Amarillo road
when along came a semi with a high canvas-covered load
He said if you're going to Amarillo I'll give you a ride.
So I climbed up into the cab and 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"

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

I've been to:
Waco, Hico, Hondo, Navasota, Winnsboro, Jacksboro, Hillsboro, Santa Rosa,
Austin, Houston, Galveston, Texarkana, Frisco, Buffalo, Conroe, Corsicana,
Goliad, Groesbeck, Glen Rose, Red Oak, Post Oak, Live Oak, Lone Oak, no joke

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
I've crossed the deserts bare, man, breathed the mountain air, man
Wind blowing in my hair, man
I've been everywhere

I've been to:
Kruegerville, Pflugerville, Van Horn, Val Verde, Bracketville, Bartleville,
Beeville, Bulverde, Bear Creek, Cedar Creek, Mill Creek, Mineola, Maypearl,
Monahans, Telephone, Tuscola, Red Water, Round Rock, Round Top, Round Lake,
Sour Lake, Southlake, Spring Lake, for pete's sake

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
I've crossed the deserts bare, man, breathed the mountain air, man
Drove my tires bare, man
I've been everywhere

I've been to:
Greenville, Gatesville, Gainesville, Alameda, Kerrville, Kelleyville,
Bastrop, and I've been to Somerville, Smithfield, Stephenville, Prairie View,
Lukenback, Longview, Plainview, Idalou, Justin, Joshua, Panorama, Pasadena,
Angelina, Anareina, see what I mean now

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
I've crossed the deserts bare, man, breathed the mountain air, man
Lots of wear and tear, man
I've been everywhere

Now let me see I've been to:
Valley Mills, Pine Mills, Dime Box, Duncanville, New Home, New Hope, New Deal,
Liberty Hill, Rockport, Rock Creek, Bridgeport, Brownwood, Cleburne, Comanche,
Cut-N-Shoot, Cottonwood, Bayview, Bayside, Baytown, Bay City, Falls City,

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

Yeah when it comes to Texas, friends
I've been everywhere
