Twenty Five Miles (1987 Remix)

25 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 bad

But I got a girl waiting for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
You see, she's got the kind of loving and kissing
Make a boy go stone wild

I got to keep on walking
Oh, I got to walk on
Let me tell you, y'all (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm so tired (oh-oh-oh)
But I just can't lose my stride (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I've got 15 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
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 a backward flip
And I forget about these feet of mine

I got to keep on walking
Oh, I got to walk on
Let me tell you, y'all (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm so tired (oh-oh-oh)
But I just can't lose my stride (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Yeah (walking)
I got to walk on
Let me tell you, y'all
Hope my feet don't fail me now
Five more miles to go
I got nine, eight, seven
Six, oh six

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

I got to keep on walking
Oh, I got to walk on
Let me tell you, y'all (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm so tired (oh-oh-oh)
But I just can't lose my stride (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Oh, I got to walk on
Let me tell you, y'all (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm so tired (oh-oh-oh)
But I just can't lose my stride (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Oh, I got to walk on
