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, hey, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred 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 [bad word] in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you

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 five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

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 dreamin' well, I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you

When I go out, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
When [bad word] home, yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man [bad word] back home with you
I'm gonna be the man [bad word] home with you

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

And I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
