Lyrics

Well, I was humpin' my bluey on the dusty Oodnadatta road
When along came a semi with a high and canvas-covered load
(Spoken) "If you're goin' to Oodnadatta, mate, um, with me you can ride."
So I climbed in the cabin and I settled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
I said "Listen, mate, I've travelled ev'ry road in this here land."

Cos "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 ev'rywhere

Been to Tullamore, Seymour, Lismore, Mooloolaba
Nambour, Maroochydore, Kilmore, Murwillumbah
Birdsville, Emmaville, Wallaville, Cunnamulla

Dalveen, Tamborine, Engadine, Jindabyne
Lithgow, Casino, Brigalow and Narromine

[Outro]

(Spoken) "Okay, mate, you've been ev'ry place except one, and ya don't need my help t'get there."
