I've Ate Everywhere

Here's a play on Johnny Cash's "I've Been Everywhere". Unlike the 60's and 70's, we don't relate much to being a drifter, showing our worldliness by the towns we've blown through. Now it's more the places we've eaten. In that light, I made some changes.

[spoken introduction]
I was workin out back near this here company's parking lot
When along came my tech guy with his tummy a rumbling loud
If your goin' to lunch with us, Mack with me you can ride
And so I climbed into the car and then I settled down inside
He asked me if I knew any new places I hadn't been before
And I said, "Listen! I've eaten every place there is and more!"

I've ate everywhere, man
