The Proclaimers : I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) (1988)


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.
If I haver, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you.

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be that man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door.

When I'm working, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you.

When the money comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you.

When I come home, oh I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you.

If I grow old, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you.

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be that man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door.

When I'm lonely, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you.

An' when I'm dreaming, well I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you.

When I go out, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you.

An' when I come home, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you.

I'm gonna be the man who's coming home...with you!

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be that man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door.

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be that man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door.
