Edwin Starr
Twenty-Five Miles
[Intro]
Come on feet, start movin'
Got to get me there
Hey, hey, uh, huh, huh, huh
Oh, uh, huh, huh, huh, yeah, oh

[Verse 1]
Twenty five miles from home, girl
My feet are hurtin' mighty bad
Now, I've been walking for three days
And two lonely nights
You know that I'm mighty mad
But I got a woman waitin' for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
You see she's got
The kind of lovin' and a kissin'
A make a man go stone wild

[Chorus]
So I got to keep on walkin'
I got to walk on, oh, ho, ho
I-I-I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride

[Verse 2]
I got fifteen miles to go now
And I can hear my baby callin' my name
It's as if it's though
I'm standing at her front door
I can hear that doggone plain
Now, I'll be so glad to see my baby
And hold her in my arms one more time
Now, when I kiss her lips
I turn her back over flip
And I'll forget about these feet of mine
[Chorus]
I got to keep on walkin'
Hey, I got to walk on, let me tell y-y'all
I-I-I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride

[Verse 3]
Come on feet don't fail me now
I got ten more miles to go
I got nine, eight, seven, six, six, six
I got five more miles to go now
Over the other hill just around the bend
Although my feet are tired
I can't lose my stride
I got to get to my baby again

[Chorus]
I got to keep on walkin'
Hey I got to walk on, wait, let me tell y-y-y'all
I-I-I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride

Walkin', yeah
I got to walk on, let me tell y-y-y'all
I see my baby
Just across the bend
Walkin', hey, hey now
I got to walk on, let me tell y-y-y'all
I got to say, on the step
Since the sun came up
