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
