* Original
* Musical

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 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walks 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 (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 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles

To fall down at your door

Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle a da da

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 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), 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 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles

To fall down at your door
