UPDATE: This was my original home page. Click on the

On the Way Home
...
... is my 'journal' of life as a drive-away driver. From May 2003
through April 2005 I did almost weekly write-ups from those trips and those are
posted on these pages.
I am still on the road but am no longer taking the
time to write updates, other projects are taking priority. That doesn't mean
that this work has gotten any less exciting.
2/13/07 - I've added to
more provinces to my list, I went through NB to make my delivery in Halifax,
NS. This leaves only VT that I haven't been too, of the place's I might
actually go. October and November last year I was in Canada every week for
eight weeks. And have been to all the border provinces in the last six weeks
except PQ, which I could be leaving for today if I wanted, but turned down the
run to spend time with family.
7/8/06 - Long time no updates. I have now
added a page with my pay for my longer trips in 2006
The first thing I found
is that I am not keeping very good records, I'm missing a lot of receipts for
cabs, planes and trains.
I also found that I am making better money than I
was in prior years, for the first time in three plus years I have had trips
that have paid over $200 a day, but there are still the trips that pay $30 a
day.
1/6/07 - Still driving ... Still haven't been everywhere. Am down
to only VT as a state I haven't been too. Added a few trips to Canada in '06
... maybe a few new places in '07. In '03 and /04 I also had other income that
only allowed me to be on the road part time. In '05 I was off the road due to
family. In '06 I started back full time with this being our only family income
... it can be done.

I'VE BEEN
EVERYWHERE - lyrics - (not really)
|
I'VE BEEN
EVERYWHERE
Written by Geoff Mack |
I was totin' my pack
Along the dusty
Winnemucca road
When along came a semi
With a high and canvas
covered load
If you're going to Winnemucca, Mack
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,
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
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
(Repeat Chorus)
Boston,
Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana, Washington,
Houston, Kingston, Texarkana, Monterey, Ferriday,
Santa Fe, Tallapoosa, Glen Rock, Black Rock,
Little Rock, Oskaloosa, Tennessee, Hennessey, Chicopee,
Spirit Lake, Grand Lake, Devil's Lake, Crater Lake, for Pete's
sake
(Repeat Chorus)
Louisville, Nashville,
Knoxville, Ombabika, Shefferville, Jacksonville,
Waterville, Costa Rica, Pittsfield, Springfield,
Bakersfield, Shreveport, Hackensack, Cadillac,
Fond Du Lac, Davenport, Idaho, Jellicoe, Argentina, Diamontina,
Pasadena, Catalina, see what I mean, sir
(Repeat Chorus)
Pittsburgh, Parkersburg, Gravellburg, Colorado,
Ellensburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, Eldorado, Larrimore,
Atmore, Haverstraw, Chattanika, Chaska, Nebraska, Alaska,
Opelika, Baraboo, Waterloo, Kalamazoo, Kansas City,
Sioux City, Cedar City, Dodge City, what a pity
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 know some place you haven't been
I've been
everywhere |
