I've Been Everywhere - Chemung County Parks Edition
I was toting my pack along the
Breesport North Chemung road
When along came a family in a Subaru with a camping gear load.
“If you’re goin’ to Park Station, Ma’am with us you can ride.”
And so I climbed into the back and sat with the kids inside.
The dad asked me if I’d seen a park with such natural bounty
And I said, “Listen, I’ve been to every park in Chemung County!”

Chorus:
I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
