I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) Lyrics

[00:06.45] When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be
[00:10.02] I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
[00:14.37] When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
[00:17.33] I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
[00:20.39] If I get drunk, well, I know I'm gonna be
[00:24.63] I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
[00:28.92] And if I haver, hey, I know I'm gonna be
[00:31.87] I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
[00:36.39] But I would walk 500 miles
[00:39.70] And I would walk 500 more
[00:43.41] Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
[00:47.92] To fall down at your door
[00:50.32] When I'm working, yes I know I'm gonna be
[00:53.70] I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
[00:57.69] And when the money comes in for the work I do
[01:01.36] I'll pass almost every penny on to you
[01:04.66] When I come home (when I come home), oh, I know I'm gonna be
[01:07.04] I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
[01:12.41] And if I grow old, well, I know I'm gonna be
[01:15.67] I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you
[01:19.71] But I would walk 500 miles
[01:23.12] And I would walk 500 more
[01:26.74] Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
[01:31.54] To fall down at your door

[01:48.86] When I'm lonely, well, I know I'm gonna be
[01:55.65] I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
[01:59.89] And when I'm dreaming, well, I know I'm gonna dream
[02:02.92] I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
[02:06.76] When I go out (when I go out), well, I know I'm gonna be
[02:07.77] I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
[02:13.86] And when I come home (when I come home), yes, I know I'm gonna be
[02:16.36] I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
[02:21.71] I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you
[02:28.37] But I would walk 500 miles
