Twenty Five Miles (Single Version)

Edwin Starr · Other Songs - Edwin Starr

Come on feet, start movin'

Got to get me there

Hey, hey, uh, huh, huh, huh

Oh, uh, huh, huh, huh, yeah, oh



Twenty five miles from home, girl

My feet are hurtin' mighty bad

Now, I've been walking 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'

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'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 it's 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 one more time

Now, when I kiss her lips

I turn her back over flip

And I'll forget about these feet of mine



I got to keep on walkin'

Hey, I got to walk on, let me tell y-y'all

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, six, six

I got five more miles to go now



Over the other hill just around the bend

Although my feet are tired

I can't lose my stride

I got to get to my baby again



I got to keep on walkin'

Hey I got to walk on, wait, let me tell y-y-y'all

I-I-I'm so tired

But I just can't lose my stride



Walkin', yeah

I got to walk on, let me tell y-y-y'all

I see my baby

Just across the bend



Walkin', hey, hey now

I got to walk on, let me tell y-y-y'all

I got to say, on the step

[Incomprehensible] sun came up
