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
