"Twenty Five Miles" Songtext
von Edwin Starr

C′mon feet, start movin'
Got to get me there, ow
Hey hey, uh huh, huh, huh, huh, oh
Uh huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah, oh

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, huh

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', mmm hmm, huh
I got to walk on, oh ho ho
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 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
I got to walk on, let me tell ya y′all
I-I-I-I-I'm so tired, huh
But I just can't lose my stride

Ow!
C′mon 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′, mmm hmm, hey
I got to walk on
Wait, let me tell ya y'all
I-I-I-I-I′m so tired, huh
But I just can't lose my stride

Walkin′ yeah, huh
I got to walk on
Let me tell ya y'all
I see my baby just across the fence, woo!

Walkin' yeah, huh
I got to walk on
Let me tell ya y′all, got to say...
