I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) Lyrics

[00:07.19] When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be
[00:10.69] I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
[00:14.46] When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
[00:17.76] I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
[00:21.73] If I get drunk, well, I know I'm gonna be
[00:25.04] I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
[00:28.54] And If I haver, hey, I know I'm gonna be
[00:32.42] I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
[00:36.37] But I would walk 500 miles
[00:39.99] And I would walk 500 more
[00:43.40] Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
[00:48.04] To fall down at your door
[00:50.80] When I'm working, yes, I know I'm gonna be
[00:54.27] I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
[00:57.66] And when the money comes in for the work I do
[01:01.27] I'll pass almost every penny on to you
[01:05.17] When I come home (when I come home), oh, I know I'm gonna be
[01:08.73] I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
[01:12.30] And if I grow old, well, I know I'm gonna be
[01:16.04] I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you
[01:20.00] But I would walk 500 miles
[01:23.72] And I would walk 500 more
[01:27.13] Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
[01:31.64] To fall down at your door
[01:35.42]
[01:52.64] When I'm lonely, well, I know I'm gonna be
[01:56.11] I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
[01:59.76] And when I'm dreaming, well, I know I'm gonna dream
[02:03.28] I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
[02:07.06] When I go out (when I go out), well, I know I'm gonna be
[02:10.80] I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
[02:14.18] And when I come home (when I come home), yes, I know I'm gonna be
[02:17.96] I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
[02:21.78] I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you
[02:28.44] But I would walk 500 miles
[02:31.92] And I would walk 500 more
[02:35.42] Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
[02:39.68] To fall down at your door
[02:43.34]
[03:12.07] And I would walk 500 miles
[03:15.54] And I would walk 500 more
[03:19.06] Just to be the man who walk a thousand miles
[03:23.75] And fall down at your door
[03:27.44]
