“Ive Been Everywhere”

 Today, my manager introduced me to a song I've never heard before- I've Been Everywhere by Johnny Cash

I liked it, and it reminded me of that time in 2020 when I took off and did these side hustles on the apps and made a lot of money. I went all over nine states plus Memphis, Tennessee (but not into the rest of Tennessee).  I often say I may do it again someday and visit the entire lower 48. We'll see. I thought about copy pasting the lyrics here and answering yes or no to each location Johnny Cash names in the song- did I go there or not during the time period that the apps were my only job?  Here are my answers: 

My answers are in ALL CAPS. I went all over Oklahoma too, and some of these town names sound like Oklahoma.
