Twenty Five Miles (1987 Remix)

[Verse 1]
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 bad
But I got a girl waitin’ for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
You see, she's got the kind
Of lovin' and a-kissin' make a boy go stone wild

[Chorus]
I got to keep on walkin'
Oh, I got to walk on
Let me tell you, y'all, 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, as though I’m standin' at her front door
And I can hear that doggone thing
Now, I'll be so glad to see my baby
And hold her in my arms one more time
And when I kiss her lips, I turn backward flip
And I forget about these feet of mine

[Chorus]
I got to keep on walkin'
Oh, I got to walk on
Let me tell you, y’all, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
Yeah, I got to walk on, let me tell you
Y'all, hope my feet don't fail me now
I got five more miles to go
I got nine, eight, seven, six, oh, six

[Verse 3]
I got five more miles to go now
Over the hills just around the bend
Although my feet are tired, I can't lose my stride
I got to get my baby back again

[Chorus]
I got to keep on walkin', aaah!
I got to walk on
Let me tell you, y'all, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
Oh, I got to walk on, aaah!
Let me tell you, y'all, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
I got to walk on
