Billy Joel did one about Current Events called “We Didn’t Start The Fire,” and Tom Leher did the Periodic Table to “Modern Major General”, but I can’t remember the one you’re asking for...sorry.
“I’ve been everywhere” by Johnny Cash?
“Everywhere” by Hank Snow from the 60’s. I will look it up to verify the title.
I think that might be “We Didn’t Start The Fire” by Billy Joel.
“Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me) - Reunion
“It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” by REM came out in 1987 I think.
I think they name almost every major US city....
This one:
JOHNNY CASH
“I’ve Been Everywhere”
I was totin’ my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road,
When along came a semi with a high an’ canvas-covered load.
“If you’re 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!”
[Chorus:]
I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
Crossed the desert’s bare, man.
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I’ve had my share, man.
I’ve been everywhere.
I’ve been to:
Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota,
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota,
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma,
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma,
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo,
Tocapillo, Baranquilla, and Perdilla, I’m a killer.
[Chorus]
I’ve been to:
Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana,
Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana,
Monterey, Faraday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa,
Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa,
Tennessee to Tennesse Chicopee, Spirit Lake,
Grand Lake, Devils Lake, Crater Lake, for Pete’s sake.
[Chorus]
I’ve been to:
Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Ombabika,
Schefferville, Jacksonville, Waterville, Costa Rica,
Pittsfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport,
Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond du Lac, Davenport,
Idaho, Jellico, Argentina, Diamantina,
Pasadena, Catalina, see what I mean-a.
[Chorus]
I’ve been to:
Pittsburgh, Parkersburg, Gravelbourg, Colorado,
Ellensburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, Eldorado,
Larimore, Admore, Haverstraw, Chatanika,
Chaska, Nebraska, Alaska, Opelika,
Baraboo, Waterloo, Kalamazoo, Kansas City,
Sioux City, Cedar City, Dodge City, what a pity.

This was written by the Australian songwriter and Country singer Geoff Mack, and recorded in 1962 by the Australian singer Leslie Morrison, who used the stage name Lucky Starr.
Hank Snow recorded it in 1962 and sent it to the top of the charts. Johnny Cash did it later.
Sounds like Steve Miller band, but could be “M.”
So many of them, man. But they’re all from the 1950s, or even earlier. Route 66, Sweet Little Sixteen, Calendar Girl, oh wait, never mind.
And if I am elected I promise the formation of a new party
A third party, the wild party
I know we have problems
We got problems right here in Central City
We have problems on the north, south, east and the west
New York City, Saint Louis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles Detroit, Chicago, everybody has problems
And personally I don’t care
- Alice Cooper, “Elected”
"..mmmm..reminds of the guy who walks up to you and say's,"hey remember the last time we saw each other" and walks away"
