Twenty-Five Miles lyrics
by Edwin Starr

Come on feet, start movin',

Got to get me there, Ow



Hey, hey, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, oh,

Uh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah,

Oh, twenty five miles from home girl,



My feet are hurting mighty bad

Now I've been walking for three days and two lonely nights

You know that I'm mighty mad, huh

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 kissin'

Make a man go stone wild.

So I got to keep on walkin', mmuh, huh,

I got to walk on, oh ho no

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 her that doggone plain.

Now I'll be so glad to see my baby

And hold her in my arms one more time, huh,

Now when I kiss her lips

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

I got to keep on walkin', hey ow



I got to walk on,



Let me tell ya y'all,



I, I, I, I'm so tired, (huh), but I just can't lose my stride





Wow, 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 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



I got to keep on walkin', mmhuh, hey,



I got to walk on,



Which let me tell ya y'allI, I, I, I'm so tired, huh,

But I just can't lose my stride.



Yeah, huh, I got to walk on



Let me tell y'all, I see my baby just across the bend
