Edwin Starr
Twenty Five Miles
[Intro]
Come on feet, start movin'
You got to get me there
Hey!
Uh huh-huh-huh!
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

[Verse 1]
I'm twenty-five miles from home, girl, heh
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, ha
But I've got a girl waiting for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile, now
You see, she's got the kind of lovin' and a kissin'
A-make a man go strong wild

[Chorus]
So I gotta keep on walkin', sure
I gotta walk on, listen
I-I, I-I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride

[Verse 2]
I've got fifteen miles to go, now
And I can hear my baby callin' my name
It is if as though I'm standin' at the front door
I can hear a-that doggone plain
I can't wait to see my baby
And hold her in my arms one more time
And when I kiss her lips
I turn a-back for a flip
And I forget about even mine
[Chorus]
So I gotta keep on walkin', ow!
I gotta walk on
I-I, I-I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride, ow!

[Verse 3]
Woo, come on feet, don't fail me now
I got 'bout ten more miles to go
I got nine, ow! (Nine more miles to go)
Eight, uh! (Eight more miles to go)
Seven, ow! (Seven more miles to go)
Six (Six more miles to go)
I got five more miles to go, now
Over the hill just around the bend
Although my feet are tired, I can't lose my stride
I've got to get to the my a-baby again

[Chorus]
So I gotta keep on walkin', ow!
I gotta walk on, hey!
I-I, I-I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride, ow!

[Post-Chorus]
I've gotta walk on
I got to keep on a-walkin', ow!
I got up on the boots
And I'm movin' at you
I got to walk on (Keep on walkin', baby)
(Keep on walkin') Ow! (Keep on walkin', baby)
(Keep on walkin') I've gotta walk on (Keep on walkin', baby)
(Keep on walkin') Ha, I've gotta walk on (Keep on walkin', baby)
(Keep on walkin') I gotta keep on a-walkin' (Keep on walkin', baby)
(Keep on walkin') Say I gotta walk on (Keep on walkin', baby)
(Keep on walkin') Hey, gotta-gotta-gotta-gotta-gotta-gotta
(Keep on walkin', baby)
(Keep on walkin') I've gotta keep on walkin', shucks
(Keep on walkin', baby) (Keep on walkin')
[Outro]
I've gotta walk on (Keep on walkin', baby)
(Keep on walkin') (Keep on walkin', baby)
(Keep on walkin')
