Friday Song Of The Day – I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)

|

Today I bring you a pop hit by The Proclaimers; I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) from their album, Sunshine On Leith (1988).

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 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 (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 walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

fa la la fa la la

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da Da

fa la la fa la la

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh 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 walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

fa la la fa la la

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da Da

fa la la fa la la

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da Da

fa la la fa la la

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da Da

fa la la fa la la

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da Da

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
