I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) Lyrics

[00:07.65] When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be
[00:11.45] I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
[00:15.37] When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
[00:18.52] I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
[00:22.11] If I get drunk, well, I know I'm gonna be
[00:25.81] I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
[00:29.34] And If I haver, hey, I know I'm gonna be
[00:32.66] I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
[00:37.02] But I would walk 500 miles
[00:40.33] And I would walk 500 more
[00:44.33] Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
[00:48.51] To fall down at your door
[00:51.47] When I'm working, yes, I know I'm gonna be
[00:54.92] I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
[00:58.43] And when the money comes in for the work I do
[01:02.13] I'll pass almost every penny on to you
[01:05.68] When I come home (when I come home), oh, I know I'm gonna be
[01:08.96] I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
[01:12.99] And if I grow old, well, I know I'm gonna be
[01:16.84] I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you
[01:20.49] But I would walk 500 miles
[01:24.37] And I would walk 500 more
[01:27.88] Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
[01:32.38] To fall down at your door
[01:36.15]
[01:53.40] When I'm lonely, well, I know I'm gonna be
[01:56.83] I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
[02:00.37] And when I'm dreaming, well, I know I'm gonna dream
[02:04.06] I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
[02:07.56] When I go out (when I go out), well, I know I'm gonna be
[02:11.41] I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
[02:15.04] And when I come home (when I come home), yes, I know I'm gonna be
[02:18.92] I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
[02:22.37] I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you
[02:29.11] But I would walk 500 miles
[02:32.35] And I would walk 500 more
[02:35.88] Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
[02:40.83] To fall down at your door
[02:45.22]
[03:12.90] And I would walk 500 miles
[03:16.46] And I would walk 500 more
[03:20.00] Just to be the man who walk a thousand miles
[03:24.48] To fall down at your door
[03:29.60]
