If I get drunk yes 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

Just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door

And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you
