Do you mean,

I would walk 500 miles
and I would walk 500 more
just be the man who walked a thousand
miles to fall down at your door

I think it's called 500 miles
It's by the Proclaimers

There's an awesome punk version - "Down by Law - 500 Miles"
Original is by the Proclaimers

Besides the Proclaimers, the only other song I found was a backstreet boys song. Part of the song:

Backstreet Boys
All I have to give

I don't know what he does to make you cry
But I'll be there to make you smile
I don't have a fancy car
To get to you I'd walk a thousand miles

<BIG><B>If There Is Something </B></BIG>
If there is something that I might find
Look around corners
Try to find peace of mind I say
Where would you go if you were me
Try to keep a straight course not easy
Somebody special looking at me
A certain reaction we find
What should it try to be I mean
If there are many
Meaning the same
Being specific just a game
I would do anything for you
I would climb mountains
I would swim all the oceans blue
I would walk a thousand miles
Reveal my secrets
More than enough for me to share
I would put roses round our door
Sit in the garden
Growing potatoes by the score
Shake your hair girl with your ponytail
Takes me right back -
(when you were young)
Throw your precious gifts into the air
Watch them fall down -
(when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon -
(when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The hills were higher -
(when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The trees were taller -
(when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The grass was greener -
(when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon -
(when you were young)

<H3>THAT WAS THEN</H3>

<H5>
I would lie awake and cry at night
But that was then and this is now
I had an anger that was strong enough
And I would face the things I run from now
And everything we did was wonderful
Now its practical and I don?t know how
all the moves we made were done for love
Now its not enough it seems somehow
And all the feeling that I knew would last
Well they are gone where are they now
And you were beautiful and dangerous
And now you?ve sacrificed some sacred cow
And I would listen to the things you said
They all made sense why don?t they now
Not a penny in our pockets then
We never worried so why do we now

Standing tall against my destiny
Oh I had visions and I could see
I would walk a thousand miles for you
But that was the, that was then
And this ins now, this is now
Look at me now
This is now

Over decades things are changing me
I have no energy where am I now
Too many people seem in need of me
When I was younger I felt so free
Can you see the things I care about
They are not important now time has run out
And only memories are left with me
this shallow history becomes my destiny
I would lie awake and cry all night
That was then this is now
This is now
</H5>

this ain't kansas-yeah, i know

and i'm not quite sure which way to go

but i would walk a thousand miles

to walk straight down those emerald aisles

and i don't need my magic shoes

to tell me what i cannot choose

nor must i see the hollywood version

about the struggles of my person

'cause if i walk the road alone

and if i make it on my own

then all the oz-folk all will see

i won, 'cause i believed in me
