Cash, Johnny - I've Been Everywhere Lyrics






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 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!"

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, Oklahoma,
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma,
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo,
Tocopilla, Barranquilla, and Padilla, I'm a killer.

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
Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana,
Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana,
Monterey, Faraday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa,
Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa,
Tennessee to 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
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.

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
Pittsburgh, Parkersburg, Gravelbourg, Colorado,
Ellensburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, El Dorado,
Larimore, Admore, Haverstraw, Chatanika,
Chaska, Nebraska, Alaska, Opelika,
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.

Cash, Johnny I've Been Everywhere Comments
  1. c.... ....

    A serial killer song,

  36. B.... ....

    He's at least one thing that I'm proud of from my state of Arkansas

  37. S.... R....

    Hank snow still better

  38. D.... 2....

    Who needs geography when this song exists.

  39. A.... W....

    I love Johnny cash so much I'd listen to Johnny cash all day

  40. m.... o....

    I like johhny cash but I think Hank snow version is better not trying to be rude

  41. O.... ....

    But have you ever been to Balzac? Or Chin Lake?

  42. J.... G....

    ... meanwhile, Large Marge is getting increasingly frustrated in her attempt to freak out Johnny Cash.

  43. D.... W....

    Does anyone know just how many towns he names in this classic?

  44. A.... S....

    This song was originally done by Garth Brooks in 2005. He cried when he sang it.

    A.... S....

    Try Lucky Star in way back in 1962

    A.... S....

    Garth Brooks was a member of Lucky Star. He played rhythm guitar for them. He was excellent. He's married to Faith Hill now.

    A.... S....

    Oh, you're thinking of, "The Gambler".

  45. J.... B....

    good song, sounds better if it's but to playback speed of 1.25

  46. J.... R....

    Flight of the Phoenix.

  47. S.... ....

    Truckie picks up a hitchhiker.
    Hitchhiker casually slips "I'm a killer" into the list of places he's been.
    Truckie: "Wait, what?"

  48. k.... l....

    "im a killer" he threw that in ????

    k.... l....

    It is in the Aussie original, I'm a killer, just means really awesome. For example you'd say in Australian, when you did really well in a say an exam, that you "killed it".

  49. C.... ....

    Its comical how overrated Johnny Cash is, non-country fans latched onto him in order to seem cool with little knowledge of the genre as a whole

    C.... ....

    Can you remember the lyrics like Mr. Cash does? There is no over rating J.R.

  50. S.... B....

    Love that song i have lived in 10 + other states

  51. s.... ....

    Family Guy brought me here.

  52. E.... T....

    All the times I’ve heard this song I haven’t ever caught the “I’m a killer” line.... So he’s on the run wanted for murder.... ?

  53. E.... 3....

    Driver: "Have you ever seen a road with so much dust and sand?"


    Johnny Cash: **Sings an entire song about how he's been everywhere**

    E.... 3....

    Yes you’ve been everywhere but what about THIS road?

  54. K.... ....

    I have been nowhere man
    And I don’t really care man
    Life ain’t really fair man
    Whole pizza to myself and I ain’t gonna share man

  55. A.... B....

    Not ohio

  56. S.... D....
