Question of the Day!

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."

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
I've been ev'rywhere
