Travelin' with Johnny Cash

We have been in the car many hours the past few weeks traveling from TN to MI to IA and back to TN. We have specific music we like to listen to when we travel. One of the artist we enjoy is Johnny Cash. Collin likes "Ring of Fire", I like the one he sings with June Carter...something about going to Jackson, Magnus likes the "Rusty Chains" song, and Thane likes "I've Been Everywhere". As we listen to him sing the "Everywhere" song, we like to see how many of the places he names that we have been too. Here is what I came up with...(the ones we have been to are in bold).

"I've Been Everywhere"

I was totin' my pack along the long 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 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.

Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota,
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma,
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma,
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo,

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 everywhere.
