Edwin Starr – Twenty-Five Miles lyrics

Come on feet, start movin'.
Got to get me there.
Hey, hey. Uh, huh, huh, huh, huh, oh.
Uh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah. Oh.

It's 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 woman waitin' for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile.
You see, she's got the kind of lovin' and a-kissin'
That make a man go stone wild.

So I got to keep on walkin'. Huh!
I got to walk on. Oh, ho, oh.
I-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 callin' my name.
It's as if as though I'm standin' at her front door.
I can hear that doggone plane.
Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
And hold her in my arms once more.
Now when I kiss her lips, I turn my back over flip
And I'll forget about those feet of mine.

So I got to keep on walkin'. Hey.
I got to walk on. Let me tell you, y'all,
I-I-I-I-I'm so tired, huh, but I just can't lose my stride.

Whoo!
Come on feet, don't fail me now. (Come on feet, don't fail.)
I got ten more miles to go. (Ten more miles.)
I got nine (Step on, step on.), eight (Step on, step on.),
Seven (Step on, step on.), six, six, six.

I got 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.

So I got to keep on walkin'. Hey.
I got to walk on. Wait, let me tell you, y'all,
I-I-I-I-I'm so tired, but I just can't lose my stride.
(Walkin') Hey, huh.
I got to walk on. Let me tell you, y'all,
I see my baby just across the bend. (I-I-I-I-I'm so tired.)
(I-I-I-I can't lose my stride.) Whooooooooooooo!
(Walkin') Hey, hey, now.
I got to walk on. Let me tell you, y'all, yeah you know.
