Blake Stratton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
If I go out, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
When I'm working, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
When the money comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you,
And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down
To fall down at your door
When I come home, well, 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
And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down
To fall down at your door
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, well, 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
And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door
When I'm lonely, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
When I'm dreaming, I know I'm gonna dream
Dream about the time when I'm with you
When I'm with you
And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down
To fall down at your door
(To fall down at your door)
"I'm Gonna Be" by Blake Stratton is a love song that expresses a man's dedication and commitment to his lover. Through the repeated chorus of "I would walk 500 miles / And I would walk 500 more / Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles / To fall down / To fall down at your door," the man is willing to go to great lengths and distances just to be with his beloved. The first verse establishes that he wakes up and goes to work for her, passing almost every penny of his earnings onto her. The second verse expresses his desire to come home to her and grow old with her. The third verse slightly alters the refrain to express his longing and loneliness when he is without her and his dreams of being with her.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a man who is completely devoted to his lover and willing to do whatever it takes to be with her. The repeated chorus of "I would walk 500 miles" emphasizes the intensity and depth of his love for her. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, expressing the universal themes of love and dedication in a relatable way.
