I've Been Everywhere, Man... er, Not Really

Netflix finally mailed a copy of Walk The Line so it'll be popped into the iMac tonight for viewing. My favorite song by The Man in Black is, hands down, I've Been Everywhere Man. In case you didn't know, Australian Geoff Mack wrote I've Been Everywhere with place names in Australia which became a hit for Lucky Starr in 1959. Three years later, Hank Snow topped the charts after place names in the U.S.A. and Canada were incorporated.

How many of these places have you been, man?
Without referring to a map, I can say I've been to 33 places.

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 going 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, Bud I've traveled every road in this here land."

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
'Crossed the deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel, I've 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 deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel, I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere.
