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
