Twenty-Five Miles

Come on feet, start movin'
You've got to get me there, oh

Twenty-five miles from home, girl
My feet are hurtin' mighty bad
Now I've been walkin' for three days
And two lonely nights
You know that I'm mighty mad
But I got a girl waitin' for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
You see, she's got the kind of lovin' and kissin'
Oh make a boy go stone wild

I've got to keep on walkin'
Oh, I've got to walk on
Let me tell ya, y'all
Oh oh oh, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride

I've got fifteen miles to go now
And I can hear my baby callin' my name
It's as if as though
I'm standin' at her front door
And I can hear that doggone thing
Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
And hold her in my arms one more time
And when I kiss her lips I turn a backward flip
And I forget about these feet of mine

I've got to keep on walkin'
Oh, I've got to walk on
Let me tell ya, y'all
Oh oh oh, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride

Yeah, yeah oh (walkin')
I've got to walk on
Let me tell ya, y'all
Hope my feet don't fail me now (come on)
I've got five more miles to go (come on)
I've got nine, eight, seven (come on)
Six, oh six

I've got five more miles to go now
Over the hills just around the bend
Although my feet are tired
I can't lose my stride
I got to get my baby back again

I've got to keep on walkin'
Oh, I've got to walk on
Let me tell ya, y'all
Oh oh oh, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride (walkin')

Yeah yeah, oh, I've got to walk on
Let me tell ya now
Oh oh oh, I'm so tired now
But I just can't lose my stride (walkin')
I've got to walk on
