I've Been Everywhere

I've been everywhere...

Well, i was humpin' my bluey on the dusty oodnadatta road,
When along came a semi with a high and canvas-covered load.
(spoken) "if you're goin' to oodnadatta, mate, um, with me you can ride."
So i climbed in the cabin and i settled down inside.
He asked me if i'd seen a road with so much dust and sand, i said
"listen, mate, i've travelled ev'ry road in this here land."

Chorus:
Cos "i've been everywhere, man,
I've been everywhere, man.
'cross the deserts bare, man;
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel i've had my share, man.
