I was totin' my pack along a dusty Winnemucca road  
 
When along came a semi with a high canvas covered load  
           F 
"If you're going to Winnemucca, Mac with me you can ride"  
     C 
So I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside  
   G 
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand  
            C 
And I said, "Listen, Bud I've traveled every road in this here land."  

C 
I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere, man  
F 
'Cross the deserts bare, man,  
     C 
I've breathed the mountain air, man  
   G                                         C 
Of travel, I've had my share, man, I've been everywhere.
