25 Miles

It's twenty five miles from home,

Girl, my feet are hurting mighty bad.

Now I've been walking a three day, two lonely nights.

You know that I'm mighty mad,

But I got a woman waiting for me;

That's gonna make this trip worthwhile.

You see, she's got the kind of lovin' and a kissing

A make a man go stone wild,

So I got to keep on walkin'.

I got to walk on, oh, ho, ho.

I, I, I, I'm so tired ,

But I just can't lose my stride.

I got fifteen miles to go now,

And I can hear my baby calling my name.

It's as if, as 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.

Now, when I kiss her lips,

I turn a back over, flip, and I'll forget these feet of mine.

I got to keep on walkin'.

I got to walk on, oh, ho, ho.

I, I, I, I, I'm so tired, but I just can't lose my stride.

Walk on, let me tell you, ya'll, I, I, I, I, I, I'm so tired,

But I just can't lose my stride .

Come on feet, don't fail me now.

I got ten more miles to go.

I got nine, eight, seven, six, eight, six...

I got a five more miles to go.

Now over the hill, just around the bend.

Huh, although my feet are tired, I can't lose my stride;

I got to get to my baby again.
