Twenty Five Miles

Come on, Ow!

Twenty-five miles from home girl
My feet are hurting mighty bad
I've been walking for three days and two lonely nights
You know that I'm mighty mad

But I got a woman waiting for me
She's gonna make this trip worthwhile
You know that she got the kind of loving and kissing
To make a man go stone wild

So I got to keep on walking,
I got to walk on, huh
(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 calling my name
It's as if as though I'm standing at her front door
I can hear that doggone plain

I can't wait to see my baby
Hold her in my arms just one more time,
Now when I kiss her lips, I turn a back over flip
And I forget these feet of mine

So, I got to keep on walking,
I got to walk on, yes I do,
(I-I, I-I,) I'm so tired,
But I just can't lose my stride
Walk on

Come on, feet, don't fail me now (come on, feet, don't stop)
I got ten more miles to go (ten more miles)
I got nine (same old, same old)
Eight (same old, same old)
Seven (same old, same old)
I got six, six, six (same old, same old)

Well I got a five more miles to go now,
Just over the hill, just around a that bend,
And though my feet are tired, I said I can't lose my stride
I got to get to my baby again

So,
I got to keep on walking,
I got to walk on,
(I-I, I-I) I'm so tired,
But I just can't lose my stride

Got to keep walking,
I got to walk on,
Yes I do,
(I-I, I-I,) I'm so tired,
But I just can't lose my stride

Got to keep walking.
