I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) (1988 original version) - 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, hey 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 the 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

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

(When I come home)

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 growing old with you

But I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles

To fall down at your door

Da d-da da, da d-da da, da d-da da, da d-da da

Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle a da da

Da d-da da, da d-da da, da d-da da, da d-da da

Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle a da da

When I'm lonely, well I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you

And 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

(When I go out)

I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

And when I come home, yes I know I'm gonna be

(When I come home)

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 the man who walks a thousand miles

To fall down at your door

Da d-da da, da d-da da, da d-da da, da d-da da

Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle a da da

Da d-da da, da d-da da, da d-da da, da d-da da

Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle a da da

Da d-da da, da d-da da, da d-da da, da d-da da

Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle a da da

Da d-da da, da d-da da, da d-da da, da d-da da

Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle a da da

And I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles

To fall down at your door
