Twenty-Five Miles Lyrics By 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
    iii’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 yy’all
    iii’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 yyy’all
    iii’m so tired
    but i just can’t lose my stride

    walkin’ yeah
    i got to walk on let me tell yyy’all
    i see my baby
    just across the bend

    walkin’ hey hey now
    i got to walk on let me tell yyy’all
    i got to say on the step
    since the sun came up
