I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)

The Proclaimers The Proclaimers

I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)

When I wake up
Well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the guy who wakes up next to you
When I go out
Yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the guy who goes along with you

If I get wasted
Well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the guy who gets wasted next to you
And if I stumble
Yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the guy who's stumbling to you

But I'd walk five hundred miles
And I'd walk five hundred more
Just to be the guy who walked a thousand miles
To collapse at your door

When I'm working
Yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the guy who's working hard for you
And when the cash
Comes in for the work I do
I'll give almost every penny to you

When I return home (when I return home)
Oh, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the guy who comes back home to you
And if I get old
Well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the guy who's getting old with you

But I'd walk five hundred miles
And I'd walk five hundred more
Just to be the guy who walked a thousand miles
To collapse at your door

Da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da)
Da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da)
Da-da-dum-diddy-dum-diddy-dum-diddy-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da)
Da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da)
Da-da-dum-diddy-dum-diddy-dum-diddy-da-da-da

When I'm alone
Well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the guy who's alone 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 (when I go out)
Well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the guy who goes along with you
And when I return home (when I return home)
Yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the guy who comes back home with you
I'm gonna be the guy who's coming home with you

But I'd walk five hundred miles
And I'd walk five hundred more
Just to be the guy who walked a thousand miles
To collapse at your door

Da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da)
Da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da)
Da-da-dum-diddy-dum-diddy-dum-diddy-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da)
Da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da)
Da-da-dum-diddy-dum-diddy-dum-diddy-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da)
Da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da)
Da-da-dum-diddy-dum-diddy-dum-diddy-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da)
Da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da)
Da-da-dum-diddy-dum-diddy-dum-diddy-da-da-da

And I'd walk five hundred miles
And I'd walk five hundred more
Just to be the guy who walked a thousand miles
To collapse at your door
