The Proclaimers
500 Miles (I’m Gonna Be)
[Verse 1]
When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the girl who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the girl who goes along with you
If I get drunk yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the girl who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver hey I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the girl who's havering to you
[Chorus]
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the girl who walked a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door
[Verse 2]
When I'm working yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the girl who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home all I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the girl who's coming home to you
And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the girl who's growing old with you
[Chorus]
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the girl who walked a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

[Verse 3]
When I'm lonely well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the girl 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, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the girl who goes along with you
When I come home all I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the girl who comes back home to you
I'm gonna be the girl who's coming home with you
[Outro]
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the girl who walked a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door
Da da ta

Da da dam da da da
When I'm dreaming, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
