Answer 2

I can only think of Johnny Cash song called "I've been Everywhere" (which is used in a televised motel commercial).
JOHNNY CASH LYRICS

"I've Been Everywhere"

I was toting my pack along the long dusty Winnemucca road
When along came a semi with a high canvas covered load
If your goin' to Winnemucca, Mack with me you can ride
And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
And I said, "Listen! I've traveled every road in this here land!"

I've been everywhere, man

Crossed the deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man

Answer 3

You may be thinking of the Ray Charles song Nifty Fifty United States.

Answer 4

There are a couple of songs I can think of that might fit:

I've Been Everywhere - Hank Snow

High School USA - Tommy Facenda. This actually came out in late 1959 and there are 28 different versions of it. They all mention specific high schools in different parts of the country.

Answer 5

I know what it is. It's called "the Fifty Nifty United States" hope this helps, xoxo-Susie.
