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
