Proclaimers · The Best of The Proclaimers 1987-2002 [2002]

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, 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 1,000 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 1,000 miles

To fall down at your door



Da da lat da (Da da lat da)

Da da lat da (Da da lat da)

...etc.



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 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 1,000 miles

To fall down at your door



Da da lat da (Da da lat da)

Da da lat da (Da da lat da)

...etc...



And I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles

To fall down at your door
