I've been half a million places
I've seen half a million people stare
I've done everything and been everywhere
I've been all around the world

I've seen a stripper down in old Soho
A hooker down in Puerto Rico
A drag queen down in California
A topless waitress in a bottomless gogo

I've seen everything
Travelling with my band

I play honky tonky music
Anywhere they can use it
I've seen people laugh and people cry
All around the world

I travel intercontinental
I've seen good times, bad timеs, fat and lean times
I've been a star, I'vе been down and out
I've been put on, sat on, punched and spat on

I've been everything
Travelling with my band
And I've got my memories
Travelling with my band
I play honky tonky music
To barons, dukes and earls
I've played to every class, every breed
Every race and every creed
I've played in the theatres, I've played in the streets
For conservatives, liberals and far-out freaks
Every station, every level
All around the world

I've been everywhere
Travelling with my band
And I've got my memories
Travelling with my band

I've been half a million places
I've seen half a million people stare
I've done everything and been everywhere
Now I'm going home
I'm going home

Yes I've got my memories
Travelling with my band
Travelling with a rock 'n' roll band
Travelling with a rock 'n' roll band
