Lyrics

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 bad

But I got a girl waitin' for me

That's gonna make this trip worthwhile

You see, she's got the kind

Of lovin' and kissin'

Make a boy go stone wild

I got to keep on walkin'

Oh I got to walk on

Let me tell you, y'all

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

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 backward flip

And I forget about these feet of mine

I got to keep on walkin'

Oh I got to walk on

Let me tell you, y'all

I'm so tired

But I just can't lose my stride

Yeah I got to walk on

Let me tell you, y'all

Hope my feet don't fail me now

I got 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 walkin'

I got to walk on

Let me tell y'all

I'm so tired now

But I just can't lose my stride

Oh, I got to walk on

Let me tell you now

I'm so tired

But I just can't lose my stride

I got to walk on
