Community Event / Creation I've Been Everywhere (Galactic Version)

[Kay Thaxby]

(To the tune of the country classic I've Been Everywhere - Johnny Cash version here. Any musically minded cmdrs are more than welcome to record a version with these lyrics; in fact, I practically insist.)

I was driving my Scarab ’cross a dusty Okinura plain
When down came a ’Conda haulin’ insulating membrane
“If your goin’ to Kamadhenu, Mack, with me you can ride”
So I transferred to the bridge and then I settled down inside
He asked me if I’d seen a moon so barren and so gray
And I said, “Son, I’ve seen ’bout everything in this here Milky Way!”

[Chorus]
I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
I’ve seen the neutron glare, man
I've near ran out of air, man
Bounties, I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere

I've been to Tilian, Aldebaran, Chongquan, Manamaya
Timocan, Barillian, Li Tan, Catucaya
Cupiat, Deciat, Celesat, Alectrona
Atagat, Inupiat, Baramat, Toromona
Pleiades, Senones, Trocnades, Kambila
Anandilla, Thereila, Rakapila, xeno killer

[Chorus]

I've been to Procyon, Triton, Pergamon, Pachamama
Palaemon, Hyperion, Panarion, Winiama
Urabey, Ciboney, Tabaye, Galileo
Atlas, Zaragas, Tommavas, Nicocheo
Pleione, Alcyone, Persephone, Didayac
Giryak, Arinack, Amarak, get back

[Chorus]

I've been to Dalia, Eurybia, Humania, Betelgeuse
Sedia, Akkadia, Colonia, Ahayuse
White Sun, Huang Gun, Khongarun, Walla Walla
Proxima, Decima, Anima, Orisala
Rapa Bao, Hunahau, Sirius, Copernicus
Canopus, Sibisius, even Sagittarius

[Chorus]

I've been to Kurukana, Haritana, Kucumana, Eravate
Chicoana, Galapana, Yakawana, Mantuate
Achenar, Bandumar, Ishtar, Popocassa
Fusang, Tetonang, Wei Chang, Amemasa

Anukam, Yukilam, Sokaram, thank you ma’am

[Chorus]

I've been everywhere

Comedic alternative ending to the intro verse:

He asked me if I’d seen a moon so barren and so gray
And I said, “Yeah, they’re all like that right now, but the update’s on its way”
