My Carolina Ones


Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.

I was totin’ my pack along the dusty Tacoma road
When along came a recuiter with aim high an’ camo-covered load
“If you’re goin’ to scribe, Miss, with me you can ride”
And so I took a stab, and then I settled down inside
He asked me if I’d seen a place with so much dust and sand
And I said, “Listen, I’ve traveled every road in this here land”

I’ve been here & there man
I’ve been here & there
Studied the deserts bare, man
I’ve breathed the mountain air
Of travel I’d like my share, man
I wanna be everywhere

I’ve been to San Antonio, Witchita Falls, & Norman, Oklahoma.
Tacoma, Seattle, Bellingham, Sarasota
Wichita, Tulsa, Vancouver, Arizona
Tampa, London, Israel, Jordan.
Syria, Egypt, Mexico, Amarillo
Quatar, South Korea, and , I’m not a killer.

I’ve been here & there man
I’ve been here & there
Studied the deserts bare, man
I’ve breathed the mountain air
Of travel I’d like my share, man
I wanna be everywhere

I’ve been to Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana
Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana
Monterey, Frankfurt (Kentucky), Santa Fe, Tornado West Virginia
Glen Dale, River Rock, Little Rock, Oakhill

I’ve been here & there man
I’ve been here & there
Studied the deserts bare, man
I’ve breathed the mountain air
Of travel I’d like my share, man
I wanna be everywhere

Louisville, Jacksonville, Ashvale, Continental Divide.
Pittsfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport

I’ve been here & there man
I’ve been here & there
Studied the deserts bare, man

I wanna be everywhere

I’ve been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert’s bare, man

Of travel I’ve had my share, man
I’ve been everywhere

I’ve fucking been everywhere….

Mad props to Mr. Geoff Mack (1959) for the base of “I’ve Been Everywhere”.

Hope your Monday goes better than mine! Who else is waiting on the IRS to redefine “mid-February”?

Pretty shameful that I’ve already received my state return.. AZ Tax Department, y’all win!!!

Someone, please talk to me. I’m so incredibly lonely all day by myself. Kthxbye ❤️
