A Well-Traveled Man

I've never been to Rome but I've been to Louisville Tennessee
I've never been to London but I've been to Ybor City
I've never been to Munich but I've been to to Austin Texas
I've never been to Paris I'm not a bit embarrassed 
I grew up in a city and I don't know country ways
One of these days I gotta get up and I gotta get away
I'm a well-traveled man but I still got a whole world to see
I still got a whole world to see

I've never been to San Francisco but I've seen LA
I've never been to New Orleans, I've had their Crawfish Ettouffee                                            I chanted Hare Krishna though I've never been to India
I never worked in Bollywood but I prayed in West Virginia
I grew up in a city and I don't know mountain ways
One of these days I gotta get up and I gotta get away
I'm a well-traveled man but I still got a whole world to see
I still got a whole world to see

I thought about goin' to Indonesia but I heard the girls in Polynesia
Can make a man's life a little bit easier 
With my luck I'll wake up with a case of amnesia

The great Ohio Valley was never up my alley
I'll sail a ship to Maui and find myself in Bali
I've never been to Cuba Puerto Rico or Aruba
I'll try to fly to Adelaide and end up in Bermuda
I grew up in a city  I don't have sea farin' ways
One of these days I gotta get up and I gotta get away
I'm a well-traveled man but I still got a whole world to see
I still got a whole world to see
