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 [bad word]  well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets [bad word] next to you.
And if I haver, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's haverin' 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 workin', yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's workin' hard for you.
And when the [bad word] in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you.

When [bad word] home (when [bad word] home), oh I know I'm gonna be 'I'm gonna be the man [bad word] 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

Da da-da da (da da-da da)
Da da-da da (da da-da da)

When I'm lonely, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man whose lonely without you.
And when I'm dreamin', well I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the times 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 [bad word] home (when [bad word] home), yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man [bad word] back home to you.
I'm gonna be the man [bad word]  home 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

Da da-da da (da da-da da)
Da da-da da (da da-da da)

And 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

I heard this song in the "Burke and Hare" movie. At the very instant I heard the song I just fell in love with it and searched for more info about it. The lyrics are so inspiriational that I'm even learning it now and I hope to be that man to walk a thousand and more for my deary one day.
