Report Artsists: U.S. Cities in song lyrics in Music Discussion Posted December 12, 2003 How about "I've Been Everywhere" by Hank Snow? I think that song has the most cities in it, sung in rapid-fire fashion. Since I can't edit my post, here are the lyrics: I was totin' my pack along a dusty Winnemucca road When along came a semi with a high canvas covered load "If you're going to Winnemucca, Mac with me you can ride." So I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand And I said, [break] "Listen, Bud I've traveled every road in this here land." (Chorus) 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 everywhere. I been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota, Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota, Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma, Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma, Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo, Tocopilla, Barranquilla, and Padilla, I'm a killer.

I was totin' my pack along a dusty Winnemucca road
When along came a semi with a high canvas covered load
"If you're going to Winnemucca, Mac with me you can ride."
So I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
And I said, [break] "Listen, Bud I've traveled every road in this here
land."
(Chorus)
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 everywhere.
I been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota, Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow,
Sarasota,
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma, Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma,
