We played this at my grandmas funeral too because she really had been everywhere and it’s crazy to think how everyone has had a story and how we’ve all been to our own places in life and own stories and when I thought that there it really hit of peoples lives and how valuable one life is.
If you've ever been hitchhiking through Winnemucca then you know exactly what this song is about. It's dry desert, desolate. I was there once exactly like he's talking about. I used to hitchhike all over the country back in the '60s. One year I went across country four times. I was a vagabond, that's for sure. I think I've been through just about every town he's singing about. I love it when he says, "I've breathed the mountain air, man."
What a hard and fast song you are singing that I can't sing along with you Johnny cash ! But I will try again and again and I will surely sing. Like all your other song this is great and meaningful. I am Indian never saw you but I like your songs. My respect to you.
ARGENTINA! jhonny cash un mostro, grande entre los grandes ! su cuerpo no esta mas pero la musica vivira para siempre VAMOS JHONNY CARAJOOOO TODO EL AGUANTE DESDE ARGENTINA, MEN.. me encanta tu cancion men, sos un tipo groso men...
I've been to at least 1/3rd of the places mentioned! I lived in Dayton, OH for the first 15 years of my life: born and raised. Been to 19 other states since then, and have lived in El Paso, TX, Fort Bragg, NC, and Atlanta, GA since then!
This is fun to play and sing, but it ends too soon … so I made up a couple more verses. I hope you like them: I’ve been to Shawnee, Pawnee, Potawatomi Kankakee, Skokie, Okefenokee Wounded Knee, Fort Apache, Fort Worth, Fort Wayne Syracuse, Santa Cruz, Baton Rouge, Duquesne Drove a car, drove a truck, took a plane, hopped a train Rode the bus, rowed a boat, rode a horse. It’s insane ! I've been to Hollywood, Redwood, Deadwood, Woodside Riverside, Lakeside, Oceanside, what a ride! Spokane, Cheyenne, Sugar Land, Birmingham Beaver Dam, Potsdam, on the lam, hot damn ! Folsom, Joliet, Leavenworth, Red Wing San Quentin, Danbury, Ossining. Gotta sing !
My history teacher played this before our USA map test. ._. Didn't help with the test, but it was fun too have stuck in my head while I took the hardest test of my life.
Am I seeing comments here that this song is "ripping off" Rihanna? Are people that ignorant these days that they have no clue who Johnny Cash was or how old this song is?! Good grief!
I love it when he says he's a killer. This song is sooooo amazzzzzzzzing. I try to sing it, this is really good to learn breathing techniques wile singing. If you don't you'll pass out. 😆😆😆
The song lists a lot of American towns and cities, at least three places in Canada, the countries of Salvador and Panama, the Catalina region of Spain. That’s only the ones I picked up on. Edit: He also listed Waterloo, that’s more places than most people.
My friends: * talking * Me: No joke tho I’ll just start naming random things in mid conversation, like the 2020 hurricane names, every state, really anything
I've run everywhere, man/I've run everywhere, man/Up and down the stairs, then/Back to the Frigidaire, man/Don't say I ain't burned cal'ries, 'cuz /I've run everywhere.
I've done everything man, I've done everything man smoked weed out of a gas can mixed crack and H in a pan shot up opium with a guy named Tarzan it was real good shit straight Afghan I've done Heroin, Cocaine, Crystal Meth, Amphetamine, Bath salts, Mushrooms, LSD and Ketamine mixed up some Valium, oxycontin, cough syrup and methedrine then my heart stopped so i had a redbull and some adrenaline
Man let me tell you my first memory was about 1965 and I still remember when he took me stage,it was him and Porter Wagoner and Dolly Pardon,WOW, how can a 5 year old remember that,it was AWESOME
Would have loved to see Joaquin Phoenix attempt this. May be showing my lack of knowledge to the time period of the bio-film. IMHO I thought Joaquin Phoenix did a pretty good job.
This song was originally written by an Australian using Australian place names. Later versions came out with British names, and names from the Americas like this song
This one's all about breath control, enunciation, timing, and memorization. Darn hard.
This song was played very low at my uncles funneral due to him being a semi truck driver R.I.P Uncle George

We played this at my grandmas funeral too because she really had been everywhere and it’s crazy to think how everyone has had a story and how we’ve all been to our own places in life and own stories and when I thought that there it really hit of peoples lives and how valuable one life is.
God bless and R.I.P. to your Uncle George.
My condolences
My great uncle was a semi truck driver too, he was found in his truck. Rest In Peace to your uncle George and Rest in Peace Uncle Kevin, love you
johnny's been spitting bars like theres no tomorrow
Cyfer Diablo lol, i do this a lot, except it’s not music and its really annoying
@Adria Nordman no one fucking asked
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I didn't know Johnny was rappin before it was cool! LEGEND!!!!
This isn't rap dumbass. Don't mix Johnny Cash with that BS
The song was released in 96' rapping was VERY cool at that time
It was actually done before by several artists. There's over 130 versions of it. I like Hank Snow's version too. Check it out!
And we can understand him also
My grandpa, who is 70, has been to literally every one of the places named in this song.
Breigha Bear lol so cool : )
hes been to chicken feheeta he said it in the song
But many states have the same city names… has he literally been to all of them man?
@@rhawk620 I don't know, but of travel he's had his share man

My Hero "The Man In Black" I Love June, what a beautiful soul :o) They are greatly missed!!! I'm so happy their music lives on a great blessing!!!
I love that song!!!
I loved how Johnny proposed to June many times and she finally said yes during a show in Canada. He never gave up.
What a hard and fast song you are singing that I can't sing along with you Johnny cash ! But I will try again and again and I will surely sing. Like all your other song this is great and meaningful. I am Indian never saw you but I like your songs. My respect to you.

thank you good steward for posting this song
This song is pure genius. I can't keep up with the places no matter how hard I try. :).
I listed off each of the names and follow along and able to catch up with practice.
The memorization is another story though 😅
I randomly get this song stuck in my head seemingly out of nowhere. Ill wake up with "ive been everywhere man"
The post office commercial doesn't help either. 2022..
Ditto lol
This is fun to play and sing, but it ends too soon … so I made up a couple more verses. I hope you like them:
I’ve been to Shawnee, Pawnee, Potawatomi
Kankakee, Skokie, Okefenokee
Wounded Knee, Fort Apache, Fort Worth, Fort Wayne
Syracuse, Santa Cruz, Baton Rouge, Duquesne
Drove a car, drove a truck, took a plane, hopped a train

Now that I have the lyrics, I'm going to try!
Keep going, little boy. You are just on a roll.
i love jonny cash! he's awesome!
but anyways, this song will always amaze me and is just an amazing creation, so creative.
Tennessee is the name of a US city, as well as the state. And Johnny Cash has been to both!
Johnny Cash, amazing!
The guitar at waterville, costa rica gives me goosebumps
J cash killin em

Man, this song must have taking a long time for him to be able to sing without making any mistakes...
Took me over 40 hours to Master it!~TRUTH!
When does he breathe????omg
@@raizinboyz he simply takes one deep breath at the start of the song and then does it in one go
@@raizinboyz exactly..it's the breath for me...
I used to travel for my work and this was my song. Funny thing, I've only been to a few places listed here.
Wonderful! I love this song!
My history teacher played this before our USA map test. ._. Didn't help with the test, but it was fun too have stuck in my head while I took the hardest test of my life.

How in the world did he memorize all that?? That guy must've been a genius 😮
Written by Geoff Mack in 1959. Covered by Johnny Cash in 1996.
Not only Johnny Cash do a voice over on the Simpsons as a space coyote they played it on the episode where Homer bought an RV.
I've been to Chicopee! It's in Massachusetts :D
I clicked Like for you (even though you included an unnecessary apostrophe in "deserts", LOL). Thanks for putting it together. :D
My friends: * talking *
Me:
No joke tho I’ll just start naming random things in mid conversation, like the 2020 hurricane names, every state, really anything
I've run everywhere, man/I've run everywhere, man/Up and down the stairs, then/Back to the Frigidaire, man/Don't say I ain't burned cal'ries, 'cuz /I've run everywhere.
😂😂😂
I lived in Haverstraw, sweet, one down, 200 plus to go.
I've done everything man, I've done everything man
smoked weed out of a gas can
mixed crack and H in a pan
shot up opium with a guy named Tarzan
it was real good shit straight Afghan
I've done Heroin, Cocaine, Crystal Meth, Amphetamine,
Bath salts, Mushrooms, LSD and Ketamine
mixed up some Valium, oxycontin, cough syrup and methedrine
then my heart stopped so i had a redbull and some adrenaline
damn I'm surprised you ain't dead from doing all those drugs lmao
waister
You are terrible! Lol! If this is a autobiographical song, I am glad you are still with us.
Fargo is not in Minnesota hahaha it's in North Dakota :) but I absolutely love this song.... I adore Johnny Cash!
Nicole Halvorson he is not saying the state and then the city he is saying where has has been duuu
Alan Valladares I was waiting for that comment from someone
Man let me tell you my first memory was about 1965 and I still remember when he took me stage,it was him and Porter Wagoner and Dolly Pardon,WOW, how can a 5 year old remember that,it was AWESOME
Would have loved to see Joaquin Phoenix attempt this. May be showing my lack of knowledge to the time period of the bio-film. IMHO I thought Joaquin Phoenix did a pretty good job.
1st on my bucket list:
Go to every one of these places I havent been in order
Never knew Cash recorded this song until now. Only know Hank Snow singing it sixty years ago.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ..JOHNNY CASH, RAPS FASTER THAN ACTUAL RAPPERS !
Luna June this is why I hate rap
And the original by lucky Starr is twice as fast
Glad to see Ohio made the cut! 😎
best song ever
This song was originally written by an Australian using Australian place names. Later versions came out with British names, and names from the Americas like this song
thx for the help i am trying to be able to sing the song word for word this should help
wow he has been everywhere lol :-D
he's never been to cleveland, ohio...but...now that i think of it... i can't blame him.
There all the places he have been on tour..
Not even close
He want to Bangor and that's a big step down from Cleveland.
Bangor? I don't even know her!
Cut us some slack. Cleveland is coming back to life. There's way worse places in the country.
he sneakily says "I'm a killer", like he murdered the trucker after he made it past Winnemucca rd...js
whoever replied, he does say, "I'm a killer" in the first listing of locations....
Jamie Shaffer I never heard that. that's crazy, you taught me somethimg
Tehnoobshows lyrics are stuck in my head!
Very true.
This has to be the funniest string of replies I've ever seen on RUclips. LOOK, a squirrel!
So.....we all going to ignore the "I'm a Killer" line? LoL Never saw it until watching the lyrics...pretty slick.
My history teacher is giving us the option of singing this instead of doing a project. Wish me luck
This song was written before Rihanna's parents were even a gleam in their Daddies' eyes.How is that ripping her off?
Argh..:L
Love this song
Love the lyrics
Hate how it's impossible to sing along
i am not much for country but for me song is true i have been every were and all ways END UP BACK HERE
Glad it helped you through, at least!
and i have been to at least half of those places
