When I wake up, well you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
And when I go out, well you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

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

And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
And falls down at your door

When I'm working, well you 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

And when I come home, well you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And when I grow old, well you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you

And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
And falls down at your door
When I'm lonely, well you know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreaming, well you know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the times when I'm with you
I'm gonna dream about the times when I'm with you

And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
And falls down at your door
