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. |
16 on that list. I need to get out more.
|
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.
|
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...
|
I counted 48 then my eyes blurred. I love runnin down the road
Hey Pete you miss the road? I'm sure you don't miss the business |

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.
|
Only been to 31, lived in two - grew up in Sioux City and now in Pittsburgh.
|
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. Ian |
Just about every where, except, over there.
|
I have been places Johnny didn't go.

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. |

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. |
