500 Miles lyrics

When I wake up, (when I wake up),

Well I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you, (Yeah I know)

When I go out, (when I go out, )

Well I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you, (who?)

If I get drunk, (If I get drunk, ) well I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you, (yeah) Yes!

And if I haver, (when I hav... What does haver mean, ) yeah I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you, (It's on 'ere)



But I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles

To fall down at your door



When I'm working, (when I'm working, )

Yes I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you, (shake a ka)

And when the money, (and when the money, )

Comes in for the work I do

I'll pass almost every penny on to you

When I come home (when I come),

I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you

And when I grow old, (when I grow old, well I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you



(Now! )

But I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles,

To fall down at your door



Da da lat da (Da da lat da)

Da da lat da (Da da lat da)

... etc. x2



(Lou - Ladies and Gentlemen, The Proclaimers)



When I'm lonely, well I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you

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 man who goes along with you

And when I come home, (when I come home, )

Yeah 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 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles

To fall down at your door



Da da lat da (Da da lat da)

Da da lat da (Da da lat da)

... Etc... x5



Da da lat da (Bobby Davro)

Da da lat da (Bobby Davro)

... Etc...



And I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles

To fall down at your door
