TWENTY FIVE MILES

Edwin Starr



Hey hey uh huh huh huh huh oh

Uh huh huh huh huh huh yeah

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
