Lyrics
[Intro]
Huh
Yeah
Oh yeah
[Verse 1]
Twenty-five miles from home, girl
My feet are hurtin' mighty bad
I been walkin' for two days and three lonely nights
You know that I'm mighty mad
Now I got a woman waiting for me
She's gonna make my trip worthwhile
She's got the kind of loving and a-kissin'
To make a man go stone wild
[Chorus]
Got to keep on walkin', huh
I got to walk on
Let me tell ya, y'all
I-I, I-I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
[Verse 2]
Got fifteen miles to go now
And I can hear my baby calling my name
It's as if, as though, I'm standing at her front door
I can hear that doggone plain
Now I'm strugglin' to see my baby
And hold her in my arms one more time
When I kiss her lips, I turn a back over flip
And I forget about these feet of mine
[Chorus]
I got to keep on walkin'
Oh, I got to walk on
Let me tell y'all
I-I, I-I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
Yeah
[Bridge]
Come on, feet, don't fail me now
I got ten more miles to go
I got nine
Nine more, nine more
Eight
Eight more, eight more
Seven
Seven more, seven more
Six, six, six
Six more, six more
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
I got five more miles to go now
Over the hill and around the bend
Though my feet are tired
I can't lose my stride
I got to get to my baby again
[Chorus]
Got to keep on walkin'
Yeah, I got to walk on
Let me tell ya, y'all
I-I, I-I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
I got to walk on
[Chorus]
Got to keep on walkin'
Let me tell ya, y'all
I see my baby, just around the bend
Can't wait to kiss my baby again
[Outro]
Walkin'
Yes, I got to walk on
Let me tell ya, y'all
Just keep on walkin'
I got to walk on
I'm a-walkin', yeah
Walkin'
Hey, hey, see my baby
I got to walk on
Oh no, walk on
Walkin'
Yeah, yeah
I got to walk on
Yeah
That's right
