"I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" lyrics
(originally by The Proclaimers)
When I wake up, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And if I get drunk, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk with you
And if I haver, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
To be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door
When I'm working, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
And when I come home, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's going home to you
And if I grow old, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you
I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
To be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door
When I'm dreaming, yeah, you know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the times when I'm with you
And when I'm lonely, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home to you
I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
To be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
Away away, away
I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
To be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And if I get drunk, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk with you
And if I haver, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
To be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door
When I'm working, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
And when I come home, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's going home to you
And if I grow old, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you
I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
To be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door
When I'm dreaming, yeah, you know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the times when I'm with you
And when I'm lonely, yeah, you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home to you
I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
To be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
Away away, away
I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
To be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door
