I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) Lyrics - The Proclaimers

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 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 money comes in for the work I'll 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 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 I come home (when I come home), yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you.
I'm gonna be the man who's comin' 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

500 to the 'Heart of Scotland' | Reviewer: Steve Allen | 12/26/12

I am a true scot. Having said that, if I had my way, I would change our national song from 'Oh Flower of Scotland' to the rousing, foot stomping '500 Miles, by 'The Proclaimers'. Now,there's an anthem to be proud of!!,

it bofere and I'll say it again this could be my absolute favorite song of all time! I can't wait to hear it live and I HOPE that they play it when I see them in Tulsa in October. On the wedding front .We just had a bride, Meghan, whose first dance was DMB's Oh and who named all of her tables at her July wedding (Sheraton Cuyahoga Falls, OH) after venues that her and hubby had seen the DMB at. Red Rocks, Verizon Amp., Blossom, ETC. Under each table name was a brief paragrah about the size of the venue and a few songs that were played that night. It was the coolest thing we have ever done!!!!July 29, 2009 7:09 am

I liked it the first time I heard it. And I still like it now.

COOL SONG | Reviewer: Robko | 3/22/11

True Story | Reviewer: Eva Noah | 7/26/10

My father who is now 77 walked from one area to another area when he was 18. He walked alone with a snow knife and enough caribou meat to last him how ever long it took him to walk. For this reason we live in the Center of Canada, and not in the northwestern region of Nunavut. He was looking for a better place and found it.

Feels Like Mine | Reviewer: Yalin | 2/20/10

Well I first heard this song in the TV show "How I Met Your Mother". I immidiately loved it and started searching for it. When I found it I listened to it again and again and actually I'm still listening to it :) Singing it with the Scottish accent, jumping at my seat and dancing is kinda fun :D I hope I'll find the girl to make me feel love like The Proclaimers tell us :)

Love this Song !!!! | Reviewer: Barb | 1/6/10

When I 1st heard this song with movie "Benny & Joon some years ago I fell in love with it. I finally put movie on pause and got the info about who sings this song the other day. I have downloaded song to my cumputer today. Whats really funny is that I have read all the "Outlander" searies books, there are 8 of them so far. Written by: Diana Gabaldon. About a 20th century woman who travels back to 1700 Scotland. Anyway, when I found that the Proclaimers are from Scotland, I was in ecstasy...

LOVE IT <3 | Reviewer: jessie | 11/1/09

i heard this song in the movie BENNY AND JOON and fell in love with is. the music video of them is great and this song rocks but i thought they said hithering instead of havering...either way it makes sence and is AMAZING!!!

This is such an amazing son! : ) <3 | Reviewer: Chartreusse | 2/18/08

This is a classic love song, and whenever I hear it, I immidiately think of my crush, or any other couple, cause it's just so cute. I hope that whenever I find THAT special someone, we will be willing to walk 500 miles for each other...and I want to walk up the aisle blasting this song at my wedding! : ) <3,Charry <3

Inniliatta | Reviewer: Kujataamiu from Greenland | 1/5/08

At our pub all seems to like it and all are dancing, when it starts. But instead of singing da da da, we all say Inniliatta (Henrietha).

Jep, very nice and happy music
