Twenty-Five Miles"
(1969)
Edwin Starr (born Charles Edwin Hatcher; January 21, 1942 – April 2, 2003) was an American singer and songwriter. Starr was famous for his Norman Whitfield-produced Motown singles of the 1970s, most notably the number one hit "War".
Starr was born in Tennessee and raised in Ohio, and later lived in Detroit while singing for Ric Tic and Motown Records. He was backed by the band that would later become known as "Black Merda". Hawkins and Veasey of the group played on most of his early hits on the Ric Tic Label. Besides "War", Starr's songs "25 Miles" and "Stop the War Now" were also major successes in the 1960s. Starr's career shifted to the United Kingdom in the 1970s, where he continued to produce music, living there until his death.
Lyrics;
Come on feet, start movin'
Got to get me there
Hey hey, uh huh huh huh huh, oh
Uh huh huh huh huh huh, yeah oh
It's 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 mad
But I got a woman waitin' for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
You see, she's got the kind of lovin' and a kissin'
A make a man go stone wild
So I got to keep on walkin', huh
I got to walk on,
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
I can hear that doggone plain
Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
And hold her in my arms one more time
Now when I kiss her lips, I turn a back over flip
And I'll forget about these feet of mine
I got to keep on walkin', hey
I got to walk on, let me tell you, ya'll
I'm so tired, huh
But I just can't lose my stride
Come on feet, don't fail me now
I got ten more miles to go
I got nine, eight, seven, six
I got a five more miles to go now
Over the hill just around the bend
Huh, although my feet are tired
I can't lose my stride
I got to get to my baby again
I got to keep on walkin', hey
I got to walk on, please let me tell you, ya'll
I'm so tired, huh
But I just can't lose my stride
Walkin', hey, huh
I got to walk on, let me tell you, ya'll
I'm seein' my baby gettin' close to me
Walkin', hey, hey now
I got to walk on, let me tell you, ya'll
Thanks...
