The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
featuring Brian Potter & Andy Pipkin

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

When I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you.
When I haver, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you.

But I would walk 500 miles
An' 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, well 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, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who coming home to you.
When 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
An' 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
An' 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
An' I would walk 500 more
Just to be that man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door.
