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, yeah, i know i'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

If i get drunk, well, i know i'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if i haver, hey, i know i'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But i would walk five hundred miles
And i would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

When i'm working, yes, i know i'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work i do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you

When i come home, oh, i know i'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if 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 five hundred miles
And i would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked 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
And when i'm dreamin' 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
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 five hundred miles
And i would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

And i would walk five hundred miles
And i would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
