I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) Lyrics By The Proclaimers

    when i wake up well i know i’m gonna be
    i’m gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
    when i go out yeah i know i’m gonna be
    i’m gonna be the man who goes along with you
    if i get drunk well i know i’m gonna be
    i’m gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
    and if i haver yeah i know i’m gonna be
    i’m gonna be the man who’s haverin’ to you

    but i would walk five hundred miles
    and i would walk five hundred more
    just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
    to fall down at your door

    when i’m workin’ yes i know i’m gonna be
    i’m gonna be the man who’s workin’ hard for you
    and when the money comes in for the work i do
    i’ll pass almost every penny on to you
    when i come home when i come home oh i know i’m gonna be
    i’m gonna be the man who comes back home to you
    and if i grow old well i know i’m gonna be
    i’m gonna be the man who’s growin’ old with you

    but i would walk five hundred miles
    and i would walk five hundred more
    just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
    to fall down at your door

    and when i’m dreamin’ well i know i’m gonna dream
    i’m gonna dream about the time when i’m with you
    when i go out when i go out well i know i’m gonna be
    i’m gonna be the man who goes along with you
    and when i come home when i come home yes i know i’m gonna be

    but i would walk five hundred miles
    and i would walk five hundred more
    just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
