Have you been everywhere?
 
I haven't quite. I've been to only 43 of the 90 places in this Johnny Cash song. And you?

The lyrics:

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,
Tocapillo, Baranquilla, and Perdilla, I'm a killer.

[Chorus]

I've been to:
Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana,
Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana,
Monterey, Faraday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa,
Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa,
Tennessee to Tennesse Chicopee, Spirit Lake,
Grand Lake, Devils Lake, Crater Lake, for Pete's sake.

[Chorus]

I've been to:
Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Ombabika,
Schefferville, Jacksonville, Waterville, Costa Rica,
Pittsfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport,
Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond du Lac, Davenport,
Idaho, Jellico, Argentina, Diamantina,
Pasadena, Catalina, see what I mean-a.

[Chorus]

I've been to:
Pittsburgh, Parkersburg, Gravelbourg, Colorado,
Ellensburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, Eldorado,
Larimore, Atmore, Haverstraw, Chatanika,
Chaska, Nebraska, Alaska, Opelika,
Baraboo, Waterloo, Kalamazoo, Kansas City,
Sioux City, Cedar City, Dodge City, what a pity.

Never been to S. America, SE Asia, Africa, India, or Russia. Why not? No desire.

50 states and 28 countries to date. I keep returning to my Fav's like Australia, Italy, the Alps, etc.

onewhippedpuppy 07-04-2015 04:04 AM

16 on that list. I need to get out more.

pete3799 07-04-2015 04:24 AM

50....and possibly more. A few I'd have to look up on a map. I was an over the road owner operator for 36 years.

M.D. Holloway 07-04-2015 04:41 AM

I haven't been to Alaska but have been to the rest of the 49 and 11 provinces of Canada (including the 3 territories), China, Korea, Mexico, Caribe...

Hey Pete you miss the road? I'm sure you don't miss the business

Funny you should mention that Dan......the wife and I were just talking about it not an hour ago.
I miss the old times but the new age of trucking is not missed at all.

65. The only reason I remember Mattawa was that I made a wrong turn (on rt 224? or something). There may be others that I don't remember.

Aggie93 07-04-2015 05:43 PM

Only been to 31, lived in two - grew up in Sioux City and now in Pittsburgh.

Hugh R 07-04-2015 05:51 PM

Many but don't remember. I've been to about 30 countries, not a much an Motion I'm sure.

Well if you ever plan to motor west
Just take my way that's the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than 2000 miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well goes from St. Louie down to Missouri
Oklahoma city looks oh so pretty
You'll see Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino
Would you get hip to this kindly tip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66

Just for the record, Canada only has 10 provinces. Plus 3 territories.

And Mattawa is east of North Bay in Northern, Ontario. And yes, I have been there.

Just about every where, except, over there.

Gretch 07-05-2015 04:11 AM

I have been places Johnny didn't go.

The Mattawa I was in is in Washington State.

Funny thing I see is they are mostly cities, I can't stand the cities that are close to me, so why the hell would I spend money to travel to one?

Now if the song was about provincial and state parks, natural attractions, ATV/snowmobile trails, lakes, rivers streams, fishing holes, etc. then my list would be huge.

wow same here. 15 times to Oz and fourth to Italy next week.

Seahawk 07-05-2015 06:05 AM

From the song, 55...the last extended drive I did in Canada was on a family vacation in 1962!

I don't remember much other than Kakabeka Falls.
