Bird, Jade - I've Been Everywhere Lyrics






I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road
When along came a semi with a high an' canvas covered load
"If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride"
And 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 seen every road in this here land"

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've a'had my share, man
I've been everywhere

I've been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa and Oklahoma
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma
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
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've a'had my share, man
I've been everywhere

I've been to Paris, London, Berlin, [?]
Barcelona, Sarasota, [?], Birmingham
Larimore, Admore, [?], Chatanika
Chaska, Nebraska, Alaska, [?]
Baraboo, Waterloo, Kalamazoo, Kansas City
Sioux City, Cedar City, Dodge City, what a pity

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've a'had my share, man
I've been everywhere

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've a'had my share, man
I've been everywhere

  1. A.... A....

    I've been to your great channel too, Jade! Awesome!

  2. M.... ....

    She's just beautiful, with a beautiful voice.

  3. M.... R....

    class love it

  4. e.... d....

    It's not a Johnny Cash cover - it's a Hank Snow cover. Johnny and Jade covered Hank.

  5. A.... R....

    Great Cover!!

  6. T.... H....

    Learned to sing this song when I was a child, she does it so well.

  7. E.... A....

    i heard rihanna where have you been

  8. E.... M....

    it was perfect... though the drums killed everything :c

  9. h.... ....

    That shit got me hyped

  10. d.... w....

    What a cutie 😍

  11. D.... M....

    I open this music when I drive

  12. W.... S....

    Ok, this is too funny, and potentially just too much irony. Let's start: the song was written by Ted Mack in 1959, and originally recorded for radio and television by Lucky Starr. Ted, Lucky, and the song were all Australian. WINEMUCCA was Oodnadatta, though that is not so important. The Johnny Cash version was insipid compared to the original. Even the Hank Snow version that reached #1 in the US country charts was nowhere as energetic as the original. Doesn't matter; Hank and Johnny were megastars and fantastic artists with their own material. They don't need this one.
    But can it be??!! Is that an Aussie accent that Jade has?? I love the energy and class of the version; but for goodness sake! Is that an Aussie girl singing an Aussie song via a US cover version just so you tube tragics will listen? The price of fame is a lot lower for some, possibly. Still, it's good singing and good music. What a shame it blots out the reality and history of the original artists.

  13. h.... ....

    Damn that was good!

  14. M.... M....

    Outstanding as always Jade!
    You smashed it! 😉👍🏻✊🏻

  15. H.... P....

    Johnny would be proud!

  16. S.... R....

    Reading the lyrics....cmon memorize those cities Jade Bird! You're still awesome :p

  17. P.... C....

    What happen to Hank Snow??

  18. C.... P....

    Soooooo neeeed you okay at my wedding ????????????

  19. R.... -....

    Fuck you ! Jade Bird has canceled her performance at the In the Park event in Kaisaniemi, Helsinki.8.24.2019

  20. g.... f....

    Far Out!!!

  21. s.... ....

    instant crush

  22. R.... ....

    Johnny Cash is smiling in heaven. Knowing there's someone who has the same soul and passion of a singer and guitarist like him.

    Love this version. It respect the song and original singer yet add just enough her own thing to make it unique to her. Love the energy she put into this song. she really did it justice.

  23. A.... S....

    You never been in Barranquilla, but I would love to see you there ;)

  24. D.... c....

    What a great voice range! Goes soft and sweet to hard and loud in a split second!

  25. K.... r....

    Loom how they massacred my boy

  26. D.... K....

    Actually it’s not a Johnny Cash cover it’s a Hank Snow cover

    D.... K....

    True, but in all honesty I don't think it matters anymore. Once Johnny Cash sung his version. it became his song from then on.

    Just like his very last song "Hurt", which was originally a Nine Inch Nails song. But once Old Johnny sung his version and did the music video.

    Well, I think the guy who originally wrote the song said, I lost the song, it's not my song anymore, it's Johnny's song now.

    Or something along those lines.

  27. p.... b....

    She missed the point of the song ,the one thing you wouldn’t want a hitch hiker to say to you “ I’m a killer “

  28. G.... 2....

    Like it - there's something missing.

  29. M.... W....

    I heard one song, Going Gone, and I am a super fan. Now, I see you're covering Johnny Cash. Awesome!

  30. J.... G....

    This is a disgrace.

  31. A.... R....

    Damn jade go off 🤙🏽🤙🏽 I LOVE IT !!!!

  32. D.... a....

    i died everytime when her say " La Paloma" 1:04

  33. C.... C....

    Don't know why, but she should go and work with Kaleo...

  34. w.... ....

    i bet she hasn't even been to half those places.

  35. Q.... L....

    Refreshed

  36. C.... P....

    This girl is my new favourite artist!

  37. s.... ....

    The truck driver would be all like: "WTF girl??"

    P.S. exceptional voice & cover

  38. R.... K....

    That's a strange looking kitchen

  39. J.... R....

    Hey! this video is so freaking special for me, I see it everytime I feel kinda down and it lifts my spirit everytime. Jade thanks! put this song on Spotify and I'll listen to it everyday, promise!

  40. S.... M....

  63. J.... L....

    Great job!! You sound really good!

  64. E.... T....

    I think her band grew up, and played with, Johnny judging by their aged look. Other than that, I love it. Jade rocks!

  65. J.... B....

    Can we get a British version please? Like where every town ends in "-shire" and you get in a lorry instead of a semi? Highlands instead of desert?

  66. S.... J....

    Love this. The backing musicians look blown away by Jade's performance, like they had never really heard her sing before.

  88. D.... S....

    Give credit where credit is due Hank Snow did a phenomenal version 25 years before Johnny Cash, and Jeff Mack did a better version an Australian version in 1962 so it's far from Johnny Cash's song

  89. i.... P....

    Nice cover!!!...but only Johnny can sing without reading Lyrics...😜

  90. S.... ....

    Thank Hank Snow not Johnny

  91. A.... T....

    Hank Snow and not Johnny Cash actually wrote the song.
