Well, I was humpin' my bluey on the dusty Oodnadatta road
When along came a semi with a high and canvas-covered load
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

Cause 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
