2. Well I was hitching a ride on a winding Taranaki road
When along came a lorry with a high and canvas-
covered load
"If you're going to Frankley mate, with me you can
ride"
So I jumped into the cabin and settled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and
sand
And I said, "Look, listen mate, I've been everywhere in
this here land ...

3. (Chorus)
Cos, I've been everywhere man,
I've been everywhere man
I've crossed the desert bare man,
I've breathed the mountain air man
Of travel I've had my share man
I've been everywhere

4. (V1)
I've been to
Te Roti, Tikorangi, Tariki, Huirangi,
Lepperton, Brixton, Bell Block, Hurdon,

5. (Chorus)
Cos, I've been everywhere man,
I've been everywhere man

Of travel I've had my share man
I've been ev’rywhere
