Because I heard it on the radio today

When I wake up yeah 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 yes I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you

And if I haver yeah I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you



But I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked 1000 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'll do

I'll pass almost every penny on to you



When I come home yeah 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 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles

To fall down at your door



When I'm lonely yes I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man whose lonely without you

When I'm dreaming yes I know I'm gonna dream

Dream about the time when I'm with you.



But I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles

To fall down at your door
