I've Been Everywhere
Stompin' Tom Connors

(Spoken)

This here next song is the story, about the fella that was hitchhikin'

Away down in Southern Nevada, along came this big long truck

Loaded down with potatoes. And the trucker put on the air brakes and

Pulled over to the side, and said Jump in son, throw in your bag, an'

The one your carrin', an' he said where all ya been son?

Well he said I've Been Everywhere Man

And that's the name of this one.


I was hitchhiking down along, The dusty Winemaca road

When along came a transport truck with High and canvas covered load


If you're going to Winemaca Mack

With me you can ride

I climed into the cab

And then I settled down inside


He asked me if I seen a road

With so much dust and sand

I said listen bud I've travelled

Every road in this here land.


I've been everywhere man

I've been everywhere man

Cross the deserts bare man

I've breathed the mountain air man


Of travel I've had my share

Man I've been everywhere

Where ya been he says?

Oh let me see now, a couple of places


I've been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo Minnesota

Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, South Dakota

Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma

Tampa. Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma

Durango, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo

Tocopilla, Barranquilla and Padilla I'm a killer


I've been everywhere man

I've been everywhere man

Cross the deserts bare man

I've breathed the mountain air man

I've travelled, I've done my share man,

I've been everywhere


Is that right? He says after a long pause

And I says

Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana

Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana

Monterey, Ferriday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa

Glen Rock, Black Rock, Oskaloosa.

Tennessee, Hennessey, Chicopee, Spirit Lake

Grand Lake, Devil's Lake, Crater Lake, for Pete's sake.


I've been everywhere man

I've been everywhere man

Cross the deserts bare man

I've breathed the mountain air man

I've travelled, I've done my share man,

I've been everywhere


This truck driver turned around to me again

And said Look buddy, If you ain't Hank Snow, don't you ever shut up?

And I says

Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Omaha

New York, New Port, Costa Rica, Utah

Montreal, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport

Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond Du Lac, Davenport

Idaho, Mexico, Argentina, Diamontina

Pasadena, Catalina, see what I mean Jack!


I've been everywhere man

I've been everywhere man

Cross the deserts bare man

I've breathed the mountain air man

I've travelled, I've done my share man,

I've been everywhere


Now this truck driver again turned around to me

And said Look it here buddy, I'm kinda gettin' sick and tired

Of you talkin' about all these United States cities and towns. I'm a Canadian

Truck driver and I want to here alittle bit of the North Country for a change.


Well I said there's always North Bay and headin' up to Northern Ontario

To places like

Temogami, New New Liskeard, Haileybury, Cobalt, Timmins

Ansonville, Kirkland Lake, Cochrane, Kapuskasing

Hearst, Geralton, Beardmore and the Lake Head

And headin' form Nipigon down 17

Into Scriber, Marathon, White River, Wawa and Sault. St. Marie

Headin' east from the Sault on 17

To Thessalon, Blind River, Elliot Lake, Manitoulin Island

Espanola, Sudbury, Cache Bay, Sturgeon Falls

And Back to North Bay


Headin' down south now number 11

To Huntsville, Bracebridge, Gravenhurst, Orillia, Barrie

Aurora, Newmarket, and ever Stoffville

And even that other town we all know well called Toronto


Ohhh Haliburton, Colorado, Winnipeg

Ellensburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, Eldorado

Larrimore, Atmore, Haverstraw, Vancouver

Chaska, Nebraska, Alaska, Opelika.


Baraboo, Waterloo, Kalamazoo, Kansas City

Cedar City, Dodge City, what a pity.


I've been everywhere man

I've been everywhere man

Cross the deserts bare man

I've breathed the mountain air man

I've travelled, I've done my share man,

I've been everywhere


Well this truck driver looked at me again

And he said Don't you know nothin' about the Maritimes at all buddy?

He had the oddasity to ask me, 'course you Newfounlanders

Wouldn't understand that word. That's a big word I learned in

Skinner's Pond school, Prince Edward Island

Didn't really mean that you know, but I had to say it anyhow

Yeah he says, Don't you know nothin' about the Maritimes?

I said Look buddy, I can tell buy the big spuds on the back of your rig

You must be a spud picker from Prince Edward Island

I can tell ya that much about the Maritimes.

You must be friends with, them there Blue Nosers from Nova Scotia

And the New Brunswick Harring Chokers

Not to metion anything, of course about them Squid Jiggin' lads

From Over Newfoundland.


An' the run of the towns in the Maritimes goes like this buddy,

There's Moncton, Chatam, Saint John, Camalton

Grand Falls, Sacland, New Castle, Fredricton

Charlottetown, Summerside, Glasby, Annapolis

Springhill, Sydney, New Glasgow, Antigonish

Windsor, Torrold, Gander, Bona Vista, Saint John's

Port aux Basques and Minster


I've been everywhere man

I've been everywhere man

Cross the deserts bare man

I've breathed the mountain air man

But there's just one place I haven't been

Tramp on the gas and roar man

Soon we're gonna be there man

Soon we're gonna be there
