"I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" lyrics
The Proclaimers Lyrics
(originally by The Proclaimers)
When I wake up, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the one who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the one who goes along with you
When I'm lonely, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the one who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreamin', well, I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
To be the one 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 one 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, oh, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the one who comes back home to you
And if I grow old, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the one 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
Ta-da-da-ta, ta-da-da-ta, ta-da-da-ta, ta-da-da-ta
Ta-da-da-dan-te-la-dan-te-la-dan-te-le-la-da-da
Ta-da-da-ta, ta-da-da-ta, ta-da-da-ta, ta-da-da-ta
Ta-da-da-dan-te-la-dan-te-la-dan-te-le-la-da-da
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 wake up, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the one who wakes up next to you
When I go out, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the one who goes along with you
When I come home (when I come home), yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the one who comes back home to you
I'm gonna be the one who's comin' home to you
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
To be the one who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
Ta-da-da-ta, ta-da-da-ta, ta-da-da-ta, ta-da-da-ta
Ta-da-da-dan-te-la-dan-te-la-dan-te-le-la-da-da

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 come home (when I come home), yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the one who comes back home to you
I'm gonna be the one who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the one who goes along with you
When I'm lonely, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the one who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreamin', well, I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
To be the one who walked a thousand miles
